Former UFC fighter Igor Zinoviev believes Jeffrey Epstein’s death was no accident. As intense speculation swirls around the cause of the disgraced financier’s death in jail, Zinoviev, Epstein’s bodyguard, has emerged as a figure in the highly publicized case. Best known in MMA circles for a vicious 1998 knockout loss to Frank Shamrock at UFC 16, Zinoviev, 53, told New York Magazine’s Intelligencer “somebody helped him to do that” when reacting to Epstein’s suicide by hanging. When asked why, the Zinoview said, “Listen, you know, that’s going a little too deep.” Zinoviev has largely eluded reporters over his work with Epstein, which included martial arts training and chauffeur services in New York and Palm Beach, Fla. But he spoke to the Intelligencer’s M.L. Nestel on two occasions, most recently on Monday, when he gave a startling claim about his former boss’ death
