Undefeated UFC castaway shares three-word reaction to Artur Beterbiev's stunning wrist workout

Undefeated knockout artist Artur Beterbiev will attempt to unify the light-heavyweight boxing titles against fellow undefeated warrior Dmitry Bivol this weekend. As part of the massively lucrative Riyadh Season this year, the Dagestani-born Canadian champion will put his IBF, WBC, and WBO belts on the line while Bivol brings his WBA belt to the dance.

Ahead of his bout with Bivol, Beterbiev was seen doing some public workouts in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. With how the Russian boxer does his inhumanly difficult hand and wrist training, we can understand why he holds a 100% knockout ratio.

Here's a video of the workout as posted by Michael Benson on X:

Despite being fighters of different sports and competing in different weight classes, there's a sense of kinship and respect between Artur Beterbiev and Muhammad Mokaev. They're born in towns just over an hour away from each other in Dagestan, Russia.

Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol gets impressive promo video

If you're not hyped for Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol this weekend, just watch the 4-minute promo video put together by the team of Turki Alalshikh, minister and chairman of the General Entertainment Authority of Saudi Arabia.

Telling the story of two undefeated warlords vying to capture the one throne to rule them all, the video could rival even the most high-budget Hollywood medieval epics today. If you're unaware that the two titular characters are undefeated boxers promoting their upcoming fight, you'd head for the theater ticket booth eager to watch an epic sword-swinging medieval war film. It can pass as that.
