To all the haters that were saying Umar pulled out...
Both Khabib and Umar took to instagram and said that the UFC cancelled the bout without informing the Nurmagomedov camp.
Umar is 100% ready and is still expected to fight on March 26th against a different opponent according to Khabib (via instagram).





My guess is that the UFC wants to save this fight for the future and considering that both are undefeated prospects it doesn't make too much sense to make them fight now.
 
Maybe its because they call it EFC just like UFC but just changing one letter.

Cancelling this fight and arranging others makes absolutely no sense unless someone couldn't actually fight.

The fact that they even made this fight shocked many. Considering both are young big prospects. I think UFC came to their senses and thought maybe this fight is better later on in their careers.

They also made Ilia Topuria (11-0) vs Movsar Evloev (15-0) - I hope they don't cancel that as well, there's already far too much hand wringing about not making high quality fights.

If it's there, pull the trigger, if not, you might never get the fight.
 
Umar is certainly living up to his family name.
You’re not wrong. Similar to khabib there always seems to be a logical reason, and often times it’s “not his fault”. It has to be said though, the nurmagomedovs withdraw at an insanely high rate compared to other fighters, and at the end of the day there needs to be some form of accountability for that

Jack Shore in my opinion is the best BW prospect in the UFC. I haven't seen much of Umar, but if he's not in the same tier as Khabib and Islam in the same career time frame,

I don't blame UFC from pulling Umar. Jack Shore is a million times better than Sean O'Malley. UFC just plays favorites, it's disgusting.

You do know Movsar is ranked in the top 10 or just below it so that fight makes sense. Having two unranked prospects fight each other with nobody even getting a ranking after the fight this early on doesn't make sense imo even though id love to watch cause it is a very good matchup.
 
Jack Shore is in the same prospect tier as

HW - Aspinall
LHW - Jiri - He was a prospect two fights ago, so back then
MW - Imavov
WW - Brady, Shavkat
LW - Gamrot
FW - Evloev, Allen, Mitchell
BW - Shore

I think he's better than some of these guys, like Gamrot. I've been on Gamrot train since he came over, but I don't think Gamrot is THAT good. Shore also isn't as good as I think he was, but I think Shore is better than Gamrot.
 
Regardless of the opponent or the he-said-she-said, the UFC is a 4-billion dollar company.

Why aren’t employees notified? Some people find out they lost their job via social media.

Totally trashy and horribly unprofessional

Are we really saying this is him pulling out? I mean he's getting rescheduled to fight like a week later. That's not pulling out that sounds more to me like UFC changed their mind I'm mean Khabib even says Umar is ready to fight at London still.

Not a pullout for me.

@Khabib Khanate check ya boy!

Okay, but Jack Shore vs Timur Valiev is still a fight between two unranked prospects, so I don't see why this is a better fight for Jack or Umar?

Call it whatever you want.

He still rescheduled/pulls out/backs out/changes fight more than he actually fights.
