Nurmagomedov responded to accusations that he often withdraws from fights

While speaking to the media at the post-UFC Fight Night 238 press conference, Umar Nurmagomedov responded to accusations that he takes off from fights too often.

"Everyone says that I withdraw from fights. Only two fights were canceled due to my fault. Before the fight with Sergey Morozov I got very sick, but later I had a fight with him. The second time I withdrew because of a shoulder injury from the fight with Sandhagen. I underwent surgery and hopefully I will still fight him. All the other cases are pandemic, death of uncle, disruptions due to opponents. Everybody says Umar's been on eight movies. No, I was filmed only twice", - stated the fighter.

Recall, today Umar Nurmagomedov at UFC Fight Night 238 won a unanimous decision of judges against Bekzat Almakhan.
