UFC fighter Umar Nurmagomedov, who is the cousin brother of former UFC champion Khabib Nurmagomedov, is undefeated in the sport so far. He recently faced Cory Sandhagen at the UFC Abu Dhabi, which many call Umar’s first real fight. However, as the match began, the “Young Eagle” proved way better than his opponent. He was cornered by Khabib and looked in a frightening form. The Dagestani used his wrestling techniques with some dangerous striking and dominated the fight. In the end, it was an easy decision for the judges. Soon after his win, Umar sent some harsh warnings to Sean O’Malley and Merab Dvalishvili.
Umar is confident he can defeat both
Umar Nurmagomedov’s winning streak in the UFC has made him one of the major contenders for the title in the Bantamweight division. If he keeps winning fights, Umar will face the winner of the Sean O’Malley vs. Merab Dvalishvili match. Recently, while speaking to the UFC, the “Young Eagle” said, “Be careful guys, I’m coming for you. Doesn’t matter who is gonna be next, I’m coming…I’m not scared of no one. I will smash them both.” However, this was not the first time Umar spoke about “Suga.”
The Young Eagle took a dig at O’Malley
Umar stated that making money is not the only challenge in one’s life. For a person to become a real man, he must be well-behaved and have values and good behavior. It was a scathing remark made by him. Umar also said that he is ashamed that O’Malley is the champion. According to Umar, Sean is not a good example for the young generation and acts like a clown.
Suga responded to the Dagestani fighter’s comments
After these comments, O’Malley didn’t stay quiet and gave his reactions to Nurmagomedov’s win last night. Although he acknowledged and praised Nurmagomedov, he also promised to beat the 28-year-old fighter. Suga made a double verbal attack as he said that by beating Umar he would also make Conor McGregor jealous as he has never been able to come out on top against a Dagestani fighter.
