Javier Mendez, head coach of the AKA gym and mentor of Umar Nurmagomedov, spoke about the upcoming fight between his ward and UFC newcomer Bekzat Almahan.

"Dangerous guy. He is more dangerous than the vast majority of UFC fighters. I'm telling you, this guy is no joke. He is one of the fighters who is phenomenal. Yes, you can say: “He never fought in the UFC.” Yes, okay, keep thinking like that, but I would advise you to look at him as a serious opponent. I don't care about the rating. I'm concerned about 17-1 on his record. The guy has a knockout rate of 85%. This is what you need to worry about,” said the specialist.

Let us remind you that the fight between Nurmagomedov and Almahan will take place on the night of March 3 in Las Vegas.
