Famous Russian fighter Umar Nurmagomedov recently lost to his Georgian opponent Merab Dvalishvili at UFC 311. This result was unexpected for many fans and experts. After some time, Umar recalled the words spoken that day by his mentor and close relative - former champion Khabib Nurmagomedov.
"Khabib approaches each athlete individually, finding words for everyone according to their situation. That day he came to me and simply said: "We will definitely return. Only next time it will be stronger!" This statement was very important to me. His constant support and trust give me new strength," said 29-year-old Umar Nurmagomedov.
The fighter emphasized that the defeat was a serious lesson for him, and now he is working even harder on himself. "Now I'm working on new strategies every day. I aim to fully shape myself. You will soon see a new Omar," he added confidently.
As a reminder, Umar Nurmagomedov's next fight will take place on October 25th at UFC 321. The Russian athlete will enter the octagon against his American opponent, Mario Bautista.
There is great interest around the battle. MMA experts say that Omar is physically and mentally prepared this time. According to him, this fight will be not only a rematch, but also an important test to demonstrate his true potential.
Thus, the next representative of the Nurmagomedov dynasty wants to speak again in the center of the octagon.
