Umar Nurmagomedov needs to get again within the octagon and he doesn’t care who’s standing throughout from him.
The No. 2-ranked bantamweight within the MMA Combating World Rankings, Nurmagomedov is arguably the deserving No. 1 contender for UFC champion Merab Dvalishvili. The undefeated Nurmagomedov has overtly campaigned for the struggle at the same time as Dvalishvili has repeatedly dismissed him as a challenger, with Dvalishvili seemingly favoring matchups with Sean O’Malley and Petr Yan.
On Saturday, Nurmagomedov posted an replace on his standing to social media, explaining that he’s unable to compete in January resulting from an arm fracture, however that the damage is okay and he goals to compete quickly.
I had a small arm fracture and couldn’t carry out in January. My arm is okay now, and I’m open to any affords.
Anybody, Anyplace!!
It’s unclear if Nurmagomedov was meant to be booked for the UFC’s January schedule, however regardless the replace is a welcome one for followers questioning if Nurmagomedov is prepared to struggle once more earlier than dealing with Dvalishvili, or why Dvalishvili vs. Nurmagomedov hasn’t been talked about as a possible headliner for UFC 311 in Los Angeles on Jan. 18.
Nurmagomedov was rumored to be dealing with Music Yadong in December, although that matchup by no means materialized, and he has dominated out preventing Dvalishvili in March, the month of Ramadan. For now, it seems the rivals are nowhere near being on the identical web page.
