Khabib Nurmagomedov 'in love' with hilarious Indian child actor, jokes about finding him with Daniel Cormier
Khabib Nurmagomedov has discovered a new source of entertainment in a child actor from India, and the former UFC lightweight champion is eager to meet him. In a recent video uploaded to his Instagram account, Nurmagomedov shared a viral clip of Akshat Singh, a young entertainer renowned for his hilarious content and unique dance moves.
The video amused 'The Eagle' so much that he asked former UFC two-division champion and longtime training partner Daniel Cormier to assist him in tracking down Singh.
Akshat Singh appeared on the Australian variety show Little Big Shots, which is hosted by Shane Jacobson and features performances by children between the ages of three and thirteen. Singh highlighted his love for food, namely chicken, in a video that quickly went viral.
