       According to local reports, Khozhiev's mother and sister had tried to stop the attack.

       The moment the MMA fighter was arrested by police was caught on camera.

       The 44-year-old victim, a radiologist, had lived in Guam for over a decade.

       Khozhiev, who was born in Uzbekistan, is reportedly married with a baby son.

       He was a known anti-vaxxer and even ran a social media campaign against vaccines claiming "vaccine is not working" urging people to "mask off".

       He retained the doctor as a client and the pair had been having dinner, reports claim.

       They argued over Covid-19 vaccinations, and a row ended with the fighter - known as AK - telling Dr Ribati: “I don’t trust you anymore.”

       Local reports in Guam say that the radiologist was found lying in a pool of his own blood.

       When police arrived, a witness said he told an officer: “Sir, it’s me, it’s me, I killed him.”

       Khozhiev had studied at St Petersburg State University of Civil Aviation, and subsequently held down a job at the city’s Pulkovo airport.

       He had worked as a trainer at a gym before being fired for “threatening customers”.

       The authorities in Guam have charged him with aggravated murder and assault, use of a deadly weapon, strangulation, felonious restraint, assault and family violence.

       Medical colleagues said Dr Ribati “will be sorely missed”.

       “His talents were undeniable and impeccable,” said a hospital statement.

       MMA fighter JJ Ambrose said that Khozhiev “was such a great person - until he wasn’t”.
