second cousin Khabiba Nurmagomedova Umar Nurmagomedov speaking at the UFC, told that in the future he may move up from the weight class up to 61.2 kg to featherweight (up to 65.8 kg).
So far, Nurmagomedov Jr. has had a fight at each weight, but he considers the lightest weight class (up to 61.2 kg) his priority.
– Your uncle Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov said that with age a fighter gets stronger and it can be more difficult to maintain weight. Do you feel it yourself and keep in mind the transition to 66 kg?
– It’s possible. It would be nice if I got that strong,” Nurmagomedov said in an interview with . – Guys in the 66 kg category weigh 74-75 kg in combat, I weigh about 70 kg in combat. If I weigh more, I can think of switching to another weight and fighting there.
But so far I have weighed 74 kg 2-3 times in my life, while eating a lot between fights. So my free weight when I train is 71-72 kg.
The fighter’s MMA stats are 14-0, the next fight Nurmagomedov is expected to have against Nathan Maness on June 25.
