Even those Kazakhstanis who are not at all interested in MMA fights know about Kuat Khamitov. True, all this knowledge is based on a series of scandals, especially a lot of which fell on 2020.
In February 2020, law enforcement agencies launched an investigation into the leaders of pyramid pawnshops. More than 22 billion tenge was given by Kazakhstanis to the financial pyramids LLP Garant 24 Lombard, ESTATE Lombard and LLP Profitable Loan.
At the same time, popular anger was directed at the fighter of mixed martial arts Kuat Khamitov, the singer Aikyn Tolepbergen, the brothers-actors Asylkhan and Artur Tolepovs and the viner Meirzhan Turebayev. All of them advertised the largest pawnshop Garant 24 suspected of deceiving people.

“The first video message to the people with an apology and a story that he himself became a victim of this pawnshop was recorded by Aikyn. Then the Tolepovs. And Turebayev even posted a video in stories, where he showed how he wrote a statement to the police about the deceivers and his scammers. Only Khamitov was silent, whom former admirers have already smashed to smithereens in the comments, doubting even his military victories,” the Vremya newspaper wrote then.

Only Khamitov was silent, whom former admirers have already smashed to smithereens in the comments, doubting even his military victories,” the Vremya newspaper wrote then.
But the silent fighter decided post his photo against the backdrop of Thai landscapes. The deceived subscribers exploded with comments: “Return the money”, “Comment on what is happening with Garant 24 Lombard”, “Stop dishonoring the Kazakhs”, “Where is the money? We believed in you."
On May 17, 2020, the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia, the US Embassy in Kazakhstan hoisted a rainbow flag, and a video appeared on the Instagram account of the British Embassy in Kazakhstan, stating that “human rights are universal, and representatives of the LGBTI community (lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgenders and intersex people) are entitled to the same respect, freedom and protection as everyone else.”
Khamitov could not pass by such words. “These people are worse than dogs,” the fighter wrote. There were hundreds of people who supported him with "likes", but there were also those who refused to accept such a position.
Moreover, some time later, Khamitov added that "dogs can be offended." Among those who supported Khamitov was the fighter Artem Reznikov, as well as the MMA Kazakhstan Fighters account: “Not only dogs, but also pigs do not do what these people do.”
Harsh comments on the one hand were replaced by attempts to stop the persecution of people on the other. As a result, LGBT activist Nurbibi Nurkadilova broke down and wrote an open letter to Khamitov.

“I believe that as a person who is a leader of opinions, a hero, or whatever else they consider you to be, you should be deprived of your titles and merits !!! Because where you have earned fame, in the international arena, such statements are considered wrong and impossible! You must be held accountable for what you say!” – among other things, Nurkadilova noted, accompanying the words with a picture with the inscription "Homophobe".

Nurkadilova clarified that she was an open representative of the LGBT+ community, and with his statement, Khamitov insulted her, her friends and loved ones.
“You are a coward – Kuat Khamitov! And I am ashamed that a person like you represents our country on the global tolerant arena – you don’t belong there!!!” Nurkadilova said.

“Kuat said out loud what most of us are thinking. I also believe that celebrating non-traditional hobbies is absolutely not the norm. I don’t care about these people, so I won’t comment on non-traditional sexual orientations, and I will support Kuat in his convictions. But at the same time, I hope that this will not end with any physical impact, especially with the rape of this girl,” said Gadzhiev.

Meanwhile, the main organization for MMA – UFC – in 2018 became one of the sponsors of the Outsports Pride LGBT parade, held in New York. Three UFC fighters joined the march: Tisha Torres, Nina Ansarof and Ciara Eubanks. Conor McGregor has already been forced to apologize for his statements about LGBT people. He was made clear that otherwise he could forget about fighting in the UFC.
In September, Kuat Khamitov, in an interview with the Ushatayka: Sport-Express YouTube channel, again spoke negatively about the LGBT community. The journalist asked Khamitov whether he thinks that now the doors of prestigious competitions can be closed to him after the scandal and criticism of the LGBT community. To which the fighter replied:

“You know, the people and the future of the people, the future of our generations and children is more important than all these UFC tournaments, of the utmost importance. We must educate a worthy nation, worthy people. And this LGBT community – what are they promoting? They propagate, I don't know at all... It seems to me that the CIS countries lack Stalin. Because if there was Stalin now, these LGBT-MLGBT would not exist! That's why I'm always against it."

On January 7, 2021, Kuat Khamitov reacted to the decision of the US Congress to approve the election of Joe Biden as President.
“Biden became president, now you will see a sharp increase in coronavirus cases, including in Kazakhstan! Countries will be quarantined. People will again start to get sick from the air on their own! Crises will be artificially created, crazy laws will be applied under the guise of democracy, and medicine and WHO will kill people! In short, difficult times await us,” Khamitov wrote.

On April 2, 2021, Kuat Khamitov expressed his opinion on the current situation:
“Everyone asks me what I think about vaccination? Personally, I will not do any injections and I believe that this procedure should be voluntary.
As for quarantines and lockdowns, I think it's time for the government to stop playing these stupid games. People need to get back to work, feed their families, pay off their loans, and save their businesses.
And the fact that the state takes care of us is complete nonsense, where have they been all these 30 years, medicine is dead, hospitals still look as they did after the war. And yes, one year is enough time to learn how to treat this flu! But they still continue to be ignorant and destroy their people,” said the Chief Virologist of Kazakhstani sports.
