The fight with American Corey Sandhagen will provide answers about the Russian’s future prospects Umara Nurmagomedov manager Alexander Skaredin told .
Nurmagomedov and Sandhagen will fight in the bantamweight division at the UFC tournament in Abu Dhabi (UAE) on August 3, with their fight set to be the main event of the evening.
— For me, first of all, this fight is interesting as an MMA fan. This is the fight in which there is a certain intrigue for me. Sandhagen is one of the best bantamweights. He lost to Petr Yan, Dillashaw, Sterling, and also won big victories and is now in second place in the ranking. For me, what interests me most of all is whether Umar will be able to take the keys from Corey and whether he will be able to defeat him spectacularly. Based on this, Umar’s future prospects will be clear. A victory over the second number in the ranking could seriously boost Nurmagomedov. And the bantamweight division is generally interesting – there is O’Malley, Dvalishvili, Vera, Umar Nurmagomedov, Sandhagen, Petr Yan, “Skaredin told .
Umar Nurmagomedov is 28 years old; his last fight was with Kazakh Bekzat Almakhan in March 2024 at UFC Vegas 87. In that fight, the Russian won by unanimous decision. In total, he has 17 wins and no losses.
Sandhagen, 32, last entered the Octagon against Rob Font in August 2023 at UFC on ESPN 50 and won by unanimous decision. He has 17 wins and four losses.
