If you’re not a fan of the Nelk Boys, you’ll probably enjoy this video of them getting beaten up by a UFC champion. Earlier this week, the Nelk Boys went viral after receiving backlash for interviewing Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.
Eventually, the Nelks apologized for their video with Netanyahu.
“I wish I could go back in time to grill him harder.We just went in there unequipped to interview him, and that’s the honest truth.”

The Nelk Boys have now released a new video featuring an interview with Ilia Topuria, and he brought up the Netanyahu interview.
Ilia Topuria talks to the Nelk Boys about their Benjamin Netanyahu podcast and says he’s not educated on the subject:
“We know things from social media but we don’t know why they are doing this, maybe there’s a reason why they do it.”

Later in the video, the Nelk Boys took turns getting beaten up by Topuria.

The Internet loved watching the Nelks getting beaten up by Topuria.
“KOing the Nelk boys may be the best thing Ilia has done in his career” commented one fan.
“This is the only Nelkboy content we need. Please do this with every UFC fighter. Thank you” said another.
