Nurmagomedov: "Sandhagen turned out to be a tough guy"

Undefeated UFC lightweight division prospect Umar Nurmagomedov has spoken out about his performance in his bout against Corey Sandhagen.

"Not happy with my performance. I was good in the standup, but the wrestling and control weren't as good. I was hoping I could dominate downstairs, but Corey turned out to be a tough, tough guy. He's a tough competitor. Of course, he has more experience in the UFC, but I won, and that makes me happy," - quotes Nurmagomedov MMA Junkie.

Nurmagomedov defeated Sandhagen by unanimous decision last weekend at UFC on ABC 7 in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
