Russian mixed martial arts fighter Jeff Monson announced that he has converted to Islam.
— Today I converted to Islam. I thought about this for several years.
I know a lot about this religion, I have many friends who are representatives of Islam. For me, it is about brotherly, friendly relations between people, about love for each of your neighbors. For me, this is the most important thing in life, that’s why I chose Islam,” the Match TV website quotes Monson as saying.
The statistics of 53-year-old Monson in MMA are 60 victories, 26 defeats and a draw. In the spring of 2023, the fighter told Match TV that he had turned in his US citizen’s passport to the embassy and now only had Russian citizenship.
