Zaynukov is popularly known as “Chanco,” which is the name of his village in Dagestan, Russia. “Chanco” recently visited his village, where he is building a new house. Zaynukov revealed that he wants to host his entire village for a barbecue feast if he wins his UFC debut.
A Feast for All
“This is the new house we’ve been building with my brother,” Zaynukov told Red Corner MMA. “The old house fell apart, so we decided to build a new one. Now we’re going to live here. We’ll come here with our families and kids and spend some time here. You should never forget your roots and where you come from. After the UFC debut – Inshallah, I hope it’ll be victorious for me — I’d love to have all my villagers here to grill some meat and celebrate my win.”
Zaynukov (8-0) shot to fame as a teammate of Islam Makhachev and Khabib Nurmagomedov even before he was in the UFC. While most of the team is made up of elite wrestlers, “Chanco” is a kickboxing champion. Zaynukov earned his UFC contract with a victory over Lucas Caldas on Dana White’s Contender Series this past October.
