Nurmagomedov: “I prepared very hard for the fight with Almakhan”

Dagestansky prospect of the UFC bantamweight division Umar Nurmagomedov spoke about his mood for the upcoming fight with the debutant of the organization Bekzat Almahan. The fight will take place as part of the UFC Fight Night 238 tournament, which will take place on the night of March 3 in Las Vegas.

“I didn’t even think that this fight would be easy for me, and I didn’t train in a relaxed way. I prepared for this fight very hard. I trained like I was getting a title fight. I don't sleep at night thinking about this fight.

This is a big chance for my opponent. I think he did a very large amount of work too. Let’s see what happens this Saturday,” Nurmagomedov was quoted as saying by MMA Junkie.
