A few months ago, a video went viral on youtube. It featured 2 young boys wrestling a bear cub. One of the boys was rumored to have been UFC lightweight prospect Khabib Nurmagomedov.
Khabib has recently admitted that it was actually him in the video footage of a nine-year-old wrestling a chained bear cub:
“Yes, I was. It was a secret video and I do not know how that got on the internet.” Nurmagomedov told Combate.com via a translator. “That was long ago, I almost do not remember, I was a boy at the time.”
Khabib will be facing Brazil’s Rafael dos Anjos in one of the fights on the UFC on FOX 11 preliminary card this coming Saturday night.
Here’s the video:
