Let's just say Adin Ross might've got more than what he bargained for during his collaboration with Islam Makhachev and Khabib Nurmagomedov. The Kick streamer recently joined team Khabib for a grueling training session, and it quickly became clear that he was struggling to survive rather than actually take part.

Ross went all in on his latest collab with Makhachev, from hosting an interview on his live stream to joining the fighter for a fight week training session under Nurmagomedov himself.

Things, however, quickly went south for the streamer when 'The Eagle', who first appeared reluctant to let him join, decided to put him through the whole nine. After warning Ross for falling behind the team during a warm-up run, Nurmagomedov joked:

Makhachev also chimed in after noticing Ross' security team in the gym, asking the 25-year-old whether they'd jump in if a scuffle happened:

"Is that your security? Is he a fighter? If something happens in the gym, is he going to help you?"

Makhachev then called out Ross for holding his phone during the session, and soon after, the team trolled him for showing up to training wearing bright pink shorts.

To wrap this up, Nurmagomedov had the Kick star grapple with his manager, Ali Abdelaziz, who proceeded to put Ross in multiple submissions, leaving him gasping for air.

While his manager, Ali Abdelaziz, believes Islam Makhachev can dominate at light heavyweight and even dethrone Alex Pereira, Makhachev doesn't seem keen on making the move.

During a recent interview, when Adin Ross asked the 34-year-old if a move up to 205 pounds was something he would consider, Makhachev got brutally honest about such an endeavor, saying:

"It's so hard, you know. I can do it, but I'm not going to be big like that, you know. It's going to be very hard... For welterweight, I'm also not [even] that big. For the other division, I have to be like 100 kgs [220 pounds], it's too much man." [20:31 into the interview]
