Umar Nurmagomedov Becomes Main Contender for Bantamweight Championship Title
Experts believe that the champion can show a higher level of skill in a title fight. However, Umar Nurmagomedov, the second cousin of the legendary Khabib Nurmagomedov and the brother of Usman Nurmagomedov, also has significant hidden potential. His rise to second place in the UFC rankings speaks volumes, and a fight with him promises to be a tough test for Dvalishvili.
Ali Abdelaziz, a well-known manager in the world of MMA and the founder of Dominance MMA Management, confirmed that the organization is considering the possibility of holding this fight, and it will probably take place. Dvalishvili won his championship belt by defeating Sean O'Malley, thanks to his technical skills and strong wrestling. Umar, in turn, demonstrates excellent abilities in mixed techniques and freestyle wrestling, which makes him a serious contender for the title.
Merab's path to the championship was long and difficult, while Umar often achieved victories relatively easily. However, Nurmagomedov still lacks experience: his opponent is older and has more significant fights under his belt. Despite this, Umar is actively developing and tirelessly working on himself to become a worthy contender for the championship title.
