UFC legend Khabib Nurmagomedov, who celebrated his 37th birthday, is once again in the spotlight. This time, he commented on the anticipated fight between his cousin Usman Nurmagomedov and Irish opponent Paul Hughes.
It is known that Usman Nurmagomedov is a promising young fighter. His every performance is watched with great interest. This time, the clash is being seriously discussed not only by fans but also by experts.
While revealing his assumptions, Khabib commented: "In my opinion, Osman will establish complete control over the opponent. His style, physical training, and combat experience ensure this. If he defeats Paul Hughes before the deadline, it will be an even greater victory for his reputation."
As a reminder, the first clash between Usman and Paul took place in January of this year. At that time, Usman Nurmagomedov took full control of the fight and won by judges' decision. Now, fans are eagerly awaiting the outcome of their second clash.
Interest in the battle is growing day by day. Especially Khabib's open trust shows that Usman's responsibility is increasing even more. One of the most important aspects in the MMA world is psychological superiority. Khabib's support could give Usman a lot of strength in this regard.
Paul Hughes, in turn, is not a fighter who surrenders easily. As one of the representatives of the Irish school, he demonstrates resilience and a fighting spirit. However, according to most sports experts, Usman's capabilities are being assessed higher.
Furthermore, this fight is crucial not only for the two fighters but also for enhancing the prestige of the PFL competition. Because every match in this tournament is watched with great interest by a multi-million audience.
