Video: Khamzat Chimaev destroys Russian influencer with brutal body shot beatdown

In a day and age where MMA fighter vs. social media influencer matchups are plentiful, the head-to-head score remains a shutout.

The latest YouTuber-type to take lickings from a world-class cagefighter is Russian influencer Mikhail Litvin (a.k.a LITVIN), who was unable to prevent UFC star Khamzat Chimaev from brutalizing his midsection until he writhed in pain on the canvas.

With a massive Instagram following of nearly 15 million and a YouTube subscriber count of 12 million, Litvin projected to the world the beating he took during his “one-minute survival challenge.”

Chimaev appeared to go semi-full force with his punches, but mostly ripped the body. At the end of the clip, Litvin folded up and clutched his midsection.

Chimaev, 30, has not competed since October when he defeated Kamaru Usman by majority decision. He was booked to headlined UFC on ABC 6 vs. Robert Whittaker, but withdrew due to health reasons.
