After a video that was posted online that appeared to show the Russian featherweight champion being shot multiple times, The Professional Fighters League claims to be “aware of the situation concerning Timur Khizriev.”
As he exits his car in Makhachkala, Russia, Khizriev, 29, is being attacked by two gunmen.
Khizriev struggles with one while the other fires close range, before escaping further harm by fleeing the scene.
According to Russian media reports, Khizriev is stable but has suffered numerous shoulder, hand, and chest injuries and is undergoing surgery.
The mixed martial arts organization’s statement reads, “PFL is aware of the situation involving Timur Khizriev, and we will keep in touch with his representatives.”
“During this time, our thoughts are with him and his family.”
