Watch Khabib Nurmagomedov wrestle a bear and try not to be offended

Khabib Nurmagomedov's next opponent in the UFC will not be tied up or wearing a muzzle.

A few months ago, video surfaced of Nurmagomedov as a child wrestling a bear. At the time, it was unclear if it was legit. We still have no idea, but this one, somewhat of a play on the first one, is the real deal. Nurmagomedov posted it himself on YouTube.

The bear cub was not chained up in the first video. It was a fair fight. That wasn't the case in this new video and the UFC is probably cool with that since officials probably don't want one of their up-and-coming stars to be mauled by a wild animal.

The whole thing seemed pretty playful, so don't expect PETA to come calling. It isn't like he slammed the furry dude as if he were Rafael dos Anjos.

UFC lightweights aren't exactly lining up to fight the Dagestani terror anyway. Maybe he was just looking for an increase in competition.
