A few months back, a video of a nine-year-old in Russia wrestling a bear with questionable takedown defense found its way to the internet. Today, UFC fighter Khabib Nurmagomedov confirmed it was him. He said it was a secret video never meant to get out. Aren’t they all?
“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.”
If you ever complained to your parents about waking up early for practice, just know it could be worse. They could make you wrestle a bear. The live animal kind not the husky, hairy gay man kind.
