Like Khabib Nurmagomedov, Dominance MMA manager Ali Abdelaziz sees Umar Nurmagomedov retiring undefeated.
Nurmagomedov (18-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) challenges bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili (18-4 MMA, 11-2 UFC) in the UFC 311 co-main event Jan. 18 from Inglewood, Calif. (ESPN+ pay-per-view, ESPN, ESPN+).
“The Young Eagle” is following in the footsteps of his cousin Khabib, who hung up his gloves as an undefeated UFC lightweight champion in 2020. Not only does Abdelaziz see Umar mirroring Khabib’s success, but potentially surpassing him.
