Mario Bautista believes a “robbery” is the only way he drops a decision against Umar Nurmagomedov.
Baustista faces Nurmagomedov at UFC 321 on Oct. 25 at Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. There have been several accusations of Caucasian and Muslim fighters being favoured in Dubai in the past. In an ideal scenario, Bautista believes his victory will be so emphatic that biases won’t matter. Bautista wants it to be known that it has to be “robbery” if he loses a decision against Nurmagomedov.
The Crowd Won’t Even Matter
“If it plays right in my mind, it doesn’t even matter about the crowd,” Bautista told Home of Fight.
