sport news Israeli cage fighter writes the names of Muslim UFC stars on an artillery shell ... trends now
Israeli MMA fighter Haim Gozali has published a shocking photo of an explosive projectile with the names of Khabib Nurmagomedov, Islam Makhachev, Khamzat Chimaev and Belal Muhammad written on it.
