Khabib Nurmagomedov did not agree with the verdict in the Sean O'Malley vs. Petr Yan fight.
The former UFC champion and UFC Hall of Famer was surprised to see O’Malley get his hand raised in a split decision reading against Yan on the main card of Saturday’s UFC 280 event in Abu Dhabi.
Although it was a competitive fight, many, including Nurmahomedov, question the scoring of the bout.
Below, you can see Nurmagomedov’s real-time reaction to the decision reading of the bantamweight bout:
With the result, O’Malley surprised many. He was a big underdog stepping in against the former champion. Outside of a 2020 loss to Marlon Vera by TKO, O’Malley remains unbeaten.
Yan now finds himself on a two-fight skid for the first time. He’s lost three of four, with the other two defeats in title fights against Aljamain Sterling.
