American fighter Corey Sandhagen In an interview with , he said that if he beats Umar Nurmagomedov This achievement can be considered comparable to the victory of the Brazilian Fabricio Werduma above Fedor Emelianenko .
In June 2010, Russian heavyweight Emelianenko suffered his first defeat in 10 years, losing to Werdum by submission.
On August 3 in Abu Dhabi, Sandhagen will meet Nurmagomedov, undefeated in 17 professional fights, in the main event of the UFC tournament.
— Khabib, Umar and Usman Nurmagomedov have not suffered a single defeat in over fifty fights. If you manage to beat Umar, will you consider it as if Fabricio Werdum beat Fedor Emelianenko?
– Yeah definitely. You know, everybody looks like the best in the world until they get beaten for the first time. And after that, you start to see a different side of them. They stop being heavenly. I obviously didn’t take this fight to lose. I’m going to win. No disrespect to Umar, but I’m going to take that zero off him and go home as the top contender for the title. And I believe I can do that. In fact, I will on Saturday. And it’s Umar, his style and his fighting skills that push me to get the best out of myself. “And throughout camp and in the fight itself,” Sandhagen told .
