Khabib Nurmagomedov Did Indeed Wrestle a Bear

UFC fighter Khabib Nurmagomedov has been perhaps best known for a video of a young boy wrestling a bear that has been circulating the internet for a while now. It was reported to be a video of the young Khabib Nurmagomedov indeed wrestling a bear, but for many, it was simply too good to be true. It turns out, it wasn’t too good to be true at all, it was Khabib Nurmagomdedov wrestling a bear.

Let that sink in for a moment. That was real. [source]

“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.”

That is so bad ass and strange.
