Gang of sick men encourage youngsters to beat each other on camera
DESPICABLE footage has emerged showing two young boys being forced to brutally fight each other by a gang of adults.
They can be heard desperately crying as they each land shocking flurries of punches -- with one appearing to suffer a broken nose.
They are watched and even encouraged by a group of sick men who are seen picking the children up when they fall, forcing them to continue brawling.
Police in Kyrgyzstan are believed to be investigating after the brutal footage emerged online.
It shows a pair of boys that look no older than seven years old in a violent fistfight surrounded by a ring of adult men.
Mixed Martial Arts or MMA is hugely popular in the central Asian state.
Ramzan Kadyrov, 40, the controversial President of the Chechen Republic -- a disputed area in southern Russia -- is fan of the bloodthirsty sport.

Irish child psychologist Arlene Naughton recently warned parents not to enrol their children in MMA classes.
Her advice came as Dublin fighter Connor McGreggor's UFC success led to the sport booming in popularity in Ireland.

"What children are seeing is brutal violence, blood and then the unusual reaction which is the crowd cheering. That is really damaging."
