Umar Nurmagomedov's Career Timeline

Umar Nurmagomedov stands undefeated in his career. Yes! We do notice the similarities with Khabib. He started his career with a decision win against Kasum Kasumov at the Russian MMA Championship 2016. But his global MMA career kickstarted with Fight Nights Global 57, against Rishat Kharisov. And for his UFC debut, the fighter had to overcome several hindrances, from cancellation to the passing of his uncle and coach Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov.

Nevertheless, his electric performance against Sergey Morozov at UFC on ESPN: Chiesa vs. Magny left quite the mark. He won the bout with a rear-naked choke in the second round. His next was Brian Kelleher for UFC 272 which ended with another choke but this time in the first round itself. His next victim was Nate Maness for UFC Fight Night: Tsarukyan vs. Gamrot, wherein he clinched a decision win.

And his explosive reign continued against Raoni Barcelos, at UFC Fight Night: Strickland vs. Imavov, and earned a 'Performance of the Night' bonus with a first-round KO.

And now, after a missed opportunity to face Cory Sandhagen at UFC on ESPN: Sandhagen vs. Font, due to a shoulder injury, the Dagestani is gearing up for a go in the bantamweight title eliminator bout in Abu Dhabi (UFC on ABC 7).
