Hilarious footage has emerged of former Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand being pinned down by a big UFC star.

Ferdinand, 45, was spotted at an MMA gym in Birmingham with the UFC star and had time to grapple with the fighter.

However, the former footballer-turned-pundit was made to regret the decision to wrestle the MMA champion.

In the video, uploaded to the official Team Renegade Instagram page, the ex-footballer was seen struggling on the mat and was unable to get out of the difficult position.

Eventually, after a few seconds on top position, the UFC fighter opted to let Ferdinand go.
