Umar Nurmagomedov

The No.2-ranked contender in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) bantamweight, Umar Nurmagomedov has already proven his place in this competitive division. Like most fighters hailing from Dagestan, Umar Nurmagomedov also started training in freestyle wrestling at a young age, and hence grappling stays the backbone for him inside the cage. However, Nurmagomedov does not limit himself to the ground game, he has also secured two knockout wins in his undefeated MMA career.

Starting his professional career in 2016, Umar Nurmagomedov is still undefeated in his game and maintains a perfect record of 18 wins and no losses in mixed martial arts. The majority of his wins are via decision (9), submission (7), and knockout (2), respectively. And with his impeccable record and Dagestani legacy, Nurmagomedov is set to make his next big move inside the octagon. This time, the 28-year-old fighter will be fighting for the bantamweight gold against the reigning champion Merab Dvalishvili at UFC 311 on January 18, 2025.

His only no-contest came after his last fight against Brent Primus at Bellator 300. Even though Usman Nurmagomedov successfully defended the championship via a unanimous decision win, the fight was later turned over to a no-contest as Nurmagomedov tested positive for a banned substance. However, the promotion did not strip him of the title due unintentional nature of the test.
