Undefeated UFC lightweight division prospect Umar Nurmagomedov commented on Marlon Vera 's loss to division champion Sean O'Malley in a title fight.

"It was a great fight, I enjoyed watching it. About Vera's defeat - I wasn't surprised. Marlon started too slow and didn't really start fighting until the later rounds. He turned it on in the fifth round. When Vera was pressing and moving forward, he was getting somewhere. He looked better than when he just stood in the rack," - said Nurmagomedov in an interview with ESPN MMA.

Recall, last weekend O'Malley defeated Vera by unanimous decision of judges and defended the title for the first time. The fight took place at the tournament UFC 299 in Miami.
