UFC lightweight division fighterUmar Nurmagomedov expects to improve his position in the rankings after defeating the promotion's debutant Bekzat Almahan.

"I'm hoping to get into the top 10 after winning this fight. All these guys are saying I'm ranked 12-13 so they don't want to fight me. Hopefully, after this fight, the UFC will move me up to No. 7-8. All the fighters that are based on those positions are old, they haven't won in a long time. The same Font - he's ranked 8th or 9th. He's lost his last few fights. He needs to go home. He needs to go away in general. Maybe his place is in the top 15, but definitely not in the top 8. He does not deserve it," - stated Nurmagomedov.

Recall, the fight between Nurmagomedov and Almakhan will be held on the night of March 3 at UFC Fight Night 238.
