Nurmagomedov named the recipe for victory over O'Malley

Dmitriy Kel March 13, 2024, 3:24 p.m.

Undefeated UFC lightweight prospect Umar Nurmagomedov revealed how he would proceed in a fight with division champion Sean O'Malley.

"If you work with O'Malley at distance, if you use boxing or kickboxing, Sean will catch you. That's what he's really good at. You can't fight Sean in the stand-up. If you want to beat O'Malley, you've got to get forward, you've got to take them down and you've got to shorten the distance when you're punching. Sean has very long arms and legs. Even if he gets you with leg kicks, he's going to score points. That's what I realized," said Nurmagomedov in an interview with ESPN MMA.

We will remind, last weekend at the show UFC 299 O'Malley held the first defense of the title, defeating Marlon Vera by unanimous decision of judges.
