Nurmagomedov takes on second bear cub in new video

Some fighters claim to have the best training partners in the world, but very few can boast about wrestling sessions with live bears.

Actually, UFC lightweight Khabib Nurmagomedov is probably the only one.

In the follow-up to a 1997 home video that shows the young Russian wrestling with a bear cub, Nurmagomedov was at it again when he posted a video of him taking on another bear while waiting for his next UFC opponent.

Unfortunately, the bear was muzzled and on a leash so we can't score a clean victory to Nurmagomedov, but maybe he picked up some tips from his training partner.
