AMC Fight Nights League Lightweight Champion Alexander Sarnavski commented on the outcome of the Bellator league title fight between Alexandre Chabli And Usman Nurmagomedov .
Khabib Nurmagomedov’s first cousin defended his Bellator lightweight championship belt by defeating Chablius via five-round unanimous decision. The Russian’s title fight became the main event of the San Diego tournament.
— Usman carried out the fight plan, did everything that was expected of him. And Sasha… I don’t know, we can just talk like armchair experts here, say “it could have been like this, it could have been like this”, but we don’t know what went wrong with him. Maybe there was some kind of injury or something psychologically broken. But if there were no injuries and I was in a good mood, then to take the belt I had to do more. I had to take risks, go all-in, work more aggressively, work as number one.
Usman is a versatile fighter, somewhat reminiscent of Jon Jones: he is good at wrestling, he strikes from two stances, he has long limbs. You need to select tactics for this. Such guys should not be allowed to work at a distance, we need to reduce the distance as much as possible, put pressure somewhere, work in number one. Choose a medium, close distance and cut corners, ”Sarnavsky told .
