LAS VEGAS – Umar Nurmagomedov is looking for a quick turnaround after scoring his first-career knockout at UFC Fight Night 217.
Nurmagomedov (16-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC), an elite grappler, showed off his hands when he knocked out Raoni Barcelos this past Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
“I didn’t train this, like single (punch), but sometimes your body’s using your skills, you understand? That’s why you have to train so many times, more than everybody,” Nurmagomedov told reporters at his UFC Fight Night 217 post-fight news conference. “Then you will be champion.”
