Former UFC light heavyweight detained after two pistols were found in Dagestan home

According to RT Gadzhimurad Antigulov is facing possible charges under Article 222 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, for the illegal acquisition, transfer, sale, storage, transportation or carrying of weapons, their main parts, or ammunition.

The potential charges come after authorities searched Antigulov’s home in Dagestan as part of an investigation into a wild wedding brawl that was captured on camera last year. The search turned up two pistols.

In a video uploaded to Instagram Antigulov claimed that he found the weapons while out for a run and that he had intended to hand them over to police.
