Undefeated Bantamweight Umar Nurmagomedov Returns, Hoping To Gain Some Momentum Toward The Top Of The Division At UFC Fight Night: Rozenstruik vs Gaziev
Umar Nurmagomedov is crystal clear about what he wants. It isn’t a particular opponent nor is it the respect of his peers and fellow bantamweights. He just wants to fight.
The undefeated 28-year-old has long been touted as one of the prospects to watch in the talent-laden bantamweight division, but he has yet to score that signature win to solidify the hype. He made his Octagon debut in January 2021 with a first-round submission of Sergey Morozov, which earned him a performance bonus to boot, but a knee injury suffered a few months later kept him out of action for the rest of the year.
