Umar Nurmagomedov vs. Deiveson Figueiredo at UFC 324
The undefeated Russian fighter currently holds the #1 ranking in the bantamweight division. His fighting style blends Dagestani wrestling with technical striking, featuring sharp kicks and suffocating ground control that catch opponents off-guard. Despite his dominance, Nurmagomedov faced his first loss at UFC 311 when he fell to champion Merab Dvalishvili by unanimous decision after five rounds, dropping him to 19-1.
