Russian fighter Umar Nurmagomedov in an interview with , he said that none of his rivals in the UFC division were dangerous competitors for him.
Khabib Nurmagomedov’s first cousin made his UFC bantamweight debut on January 20, 2021 and has four victories in the promotion. In total, Nurmagomedov has 16 victories and no defeats in his career.
On March 2, Nurmagomedov will face Kazakh fighter Bekzat Almakhan at the UFC Fight Night 238 tournament in Las Vegas.
— Champions at your weight change often: Petr Yan, Aljamain Sterling, Sean O’Malley. Do you think O’Malley is the strongest fighter in your weight class?
– Not like him, I don’t consider anyone the strongest. I think Islam Makhachev will lead the 70 kg category for a long time to come. And I don’t see anyone at my weight. Sean O’Malley, I think, will beat Marlon Vera. Then it will be interesting to watch with Merab. There, I also give my chances to O’Malley, because Merab doesn’t have a fight that could help him, he doesn’t “knit”, he can’t take a position. I think the next two fights will be comfortable for O’Malley.
— Do you consider any of them more dangerous for you in terms of skills?
“I don’t consider any of them a threat.” I don’t want to sound arrogant, but psychologically I have already gained a foothold, I see that I can fight with anyone. I don’t care which of them will be the champion, who they will give me tomorrow, today. No matter who I fight, I am ready to fight anyone,” Nurmagomedov told .
