Doctors are trying to save Magomed Zainalov.
Magomed Zainalov is one of the most famous pop MMA fighters, who made a name for himself largely thanks to his performances in the Hardcore league and his brilliant press conferences. In addition, the sonorous nickname, Venom, also influences.
In February, the Dagestani had another fight scheduled, in which he was supposed to meet Eduard “Teddy” Kuzminov, and probably saw the fight as an opportunity to get back to winning ways. However, now it is not even about Zainalov’s participation in the fight, but about the possibility of continuing his career.
Today it was learned that Magomed fell from a window on the tenth floor. According to preliminary information, she was renting this property and the incident occurred on the night of January 23. The athlete slipped on a narrow balcony, lost his balance and fell. Probably, what saved the fighter from instant death was that he did not fall on the asphalt, but on a car that was nearby. By the way, it is reported that the owner of the Nissan X-Trail in which Zainalov landed will sue him, since this incident is not an insured event.
One of the ex-combatants is accused of a terrible crime:

Zainalov survived, but is in intensive care and doctors are fighting for his life. Magomed was diagnosed with fractures in her legs and pelvis, and relatives of the fighters report that she has now regained consciousness.
The terrible incident was reported by Venom’s failed rival Kuzminov, who posted on social media: “This morning I received sad news. Magomed Zainalov fell from the tenth floor and is now in intensive care. We were supposed to have a battle on February 2nd. I prayed to win this fight. Now I understand that I don’t care about all these fights. I want to pray for Venom that everything goes well for him, that he recovers. And I ask that we all pray for him.”

At the moment there are no new details about Zainalov’s condition. Doctors at one of the Rostov hospitals are trying to save the fighter’s legs. According to the Telegram channel Mash, the cause of the fall was a pet.
Not long ago, the family acquired a cat, and that night it got scared and jumped onto the balcony, ending up in a drain. Magomed tried to get the pet out of there, but she fell. All of the victim’s relatives are now in the hospital.
The Hardcore League itself has already agreed to cover the costs of Zainalov’s surgery and treatment. We can only hope that the doctors can help Magomed and that this story has a good ending.
