Back in the day, Bryan Battle loved to sick back, smoke a J, and watch Khabib Nurmagomedov wrestle bears.

During a recent appearance on the JAXXON podcast with Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson, ‘The Butcher’ revealed that one of his favorite activities used to consist of hanging out on his porch while watching a video clip of a young Nurmagomedov wrestling wild bears alongside his father and legendary coach, Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov.

“I used to just sit on my porch and, like, back in the day—I don’t do this anymore—but back in the day, I would smoke weed and just sit there and watch the video of him wrestling the bear as a baby,” Battle said. “Just sitting there, just like… I thought that sh*t was the funniest sh*t in the world, you know what I’m saying? He’s just sitting there as, like, a little kid with a f*cking bear, you know what I’m saying?”

Khabib Wrestled His Way to the top of MMA

Nurmagomedov is considered by many to be one of if not the greatest mixed martial artists of all time. During his 12-year career, ‘The Eagle’ captured the UFC lightweight world title and notched a trio of highlight-reel finishes against the likes of Conor McGregor, Dustin Poirier, and Justin Gaethje.

Introducing American MMA fans to the dominant style of Dagestani wrestling, Nurmagomedov went an incredible 29-0 with more than a third of his wins coming via submission.

Sadly, Nurmagomedov walked away from the sport in 2020 following his third defense of the 155-pound crown. Since then, he has coached his protege, Islam Makhachev, to the lightweight title and will be in the corner of his cousin Umar Nurmagomedov who challenges Merab Dvalishvili for the bantamweight championship at UFC 311 on January 18.

As for Bryan Battle, the Missouri native is riding a four-fight win streak with victories over Gabe Green, AJ Fletcher, Kevin Jousset, and Randy Brown. Battle’s win over Brown at UFC 310 moved him to 7-1 under the promotional banner and 12-2 overall.

Bryan Battle Laughs Off $250,000 Chael Sonnen Fine Rumor: ‘That’s Crazy!

Bryan Battle couldn’t help but laugh at a recent rumor claiming that he had been both fined and banned from competing in Paris following his win over Kevin Jousset in September.

After scoring an impressive second-round KO to extend his unbeaten streak to three, Battle delivered an all-time post-fight promo that had the live crowd in France ready to riot. Shortly after, an account on X impersonating popular MMA news outlet @SpinninBackfist shared a post claiming that ‘The Butcher’ had been permanently banished from The City of Light and hit with a quarter-million dollar fine for badmouthing the French people after smashing through one of their own.

Before long, everyone realized that the post was from a parody account, but not before former three-time UFC title challenger Chael Sonnen made an entire video addressing the report as if it were 100% true.

Bryan Battle has a hearty laugh at Sonnen’s expense

Asked about the situation during a recent interview with Damon Martin of MMA Fighting, Battle couldn’t help but laugh at the situation and the fact that ‘The American Gangster’ got duped.

“It caught me off the rip because I knew it wasn’t a real thing, or at least it was something I hadn’t heard of… I was like, ‘That’s crazy.’ I was like, ‘I wonder who gave them this information because normal Spinning Backfist is a reputable source.’

“Then one of my friends pointed out that it wasn’t Spinning Backfist, that was Spinnin Backp*ss. I was like, ‘Oh, blessed.’ I did see Chael Sonnen did the whole video and people were in the comments like, ‘Uh, Chael, you need to check your sources.’ That was funny.

With the win over Jousset, ‘The Butcher’ moved to 6-1 inside the Octagon with five of his wins coming inside the distance, including three knockouts and two via submission.
