Cormier: Nurmagomedov’s departure from MMA for the sake of his family shows how special he is
“The list of ACA fighters is really big. It stands out not only in quantity, but also in quality. 90% of the best Russian athletes participate in the ACA. In terms of quantity and quality, of course, they will block Bellator. But in wall-to-wall fighting, the best of the best will go against each other, so one athlete from each league is enough.
I think the ACA league is stronger than Bellator. Even though it’s not in all weight classes, at light heavyweight I would watch the fight between Muslim Magomedov and Vadim Nemkov. But for now, I will prioritize Vadim. In other weight classes, I don’t see any absolute favorites, even in the lightweight class, where Usman Nurmagomedov and Alexander Shabliy are fighting. There are some good fighters out there, but I wouldn’t put them above the best ACA fighters. The competition is crazy”, — quotes the words of Ivan Shtyrkov Metaratings.
