Umar Nurmagomedov is crystal clear about what he wants. He just wants to fight. The undefeated year-old has long been touted as one of the prospects to watch in the talent-laden bantamweight division, but he has yet to score that signature win to solidify the hype. He made his Octagon debut in January with a first-round submission of Sergey Morozov, which earned him a performance bonus to boot, but a knee injury suffered a few months later kept him out of action for the rest of the year. He bounced back in with a submission win over Brian Kelleher and a decision win over Nate Maness, which he parlayed into a brutal knockout win over Raoni Barcelos earning him another performance bonus. Nurmagomedov then had his breakout opportunity when he was booked to fight Cory Sandhagen in August , but a shoulder injury forced him to pull out of the matchup. The matchup surprised some. I just want to be active. I just want to fight more. I lost two years because of injury.

Umar Nurmagomedov remained undefeated with another lopsided win at UFC Vegas 87 but he actually had to survive arguably the biggest scare of his career thus far. During an early exchange in the opening round, newcomer Bekzat Almakhan clipped Nurmagomedov with a punch that sent him crashing down to the ground. Nurmagomedov scrambled to grab a leg and eventually got the takedown but it was the first gut-check moment for him since arriving in the UFC. Outside of that lone punch, Nurmagomedov absolutely mauled Almakhan on the ground, scoring numerous takedowns and just blasting away at him with a nasty barrage of punches and elbows. The final scores read , and with Nurmagomedov getting the nod by unanimous decision. I hope it was going to be more easy.
