UFC fighter faces off against a goat in hilarious training session

This is one way to stay in shape during the coronavirus pandemic.

Russian featherweight Zabit Magomedsharipov (18-1), currently ranked third in his UFC division, is having a bit of trouble finding live sparring partners in the time of shutdowns due to the coronavirus pandemic.
