In the mixed martial arts arena, Armenian representative Rafael Abrahamyan recently revealed that he donated his entire prize money to the treatment of his Turkish opponent after nearly choking him in the first round of their fight.

Prior to the match, Turkish athlete Batuhan Akduman had boasted on social media about going after the Armenian’s head. In a video he shared, Rafael mentioned that he was left with a bad taste from that day’s match and confessed that he had held the Turkish fighter in a 'guillotine' position a little longer than intended.
