How do you rate Usman nurmagomedov as a prospect?

[Fesaine]

His last night's performance against mike was pretty good, not amazing but good. He's about to turn 23 so there's still a lot of room to grow for him.

From 1 to 10, where do you put him at? I would put him around 7, the same spot as Thiago Moises who's another good young prospect.

How’s his hairline?

 

[rodkek]

needs to put his hands up

 

[ignorant MMA fan]

DWCS material in 5-6 years.

This isnt horse racing so his pedigree dont matter

 

[TJ Dillashank]

Thiago Moises is a young prospect I thought he was seasoned lol guess I might have got him mixed up with someone else

If they're still putting Gracies in big fights in 2021, I'd say a Nurmagomedov should be there, too.

 

[Sweater of AV]

He looked decent against Hamel but as expected he's still pretty raw and needs to develop his overall game. 6 or 7 sounds about right.

Israel Adesanya 2.0

 

[blaseblah]

He's a good prospect though his wrestling is nowhere near the typical Nurmagomedov. He's only 22 though.

One year younger than Khabib when he fought Tibau.

 

[Grapplefest]

His top game is very good he just seems to much prefer keeping the fight on the feet and picking the opponent apart with kicks, which he’s very good at. If he utilizes his top game make he has Rockhold potential

 

[Chosen]

He’s alright nothing special in comparisons to Umar who’s showed more promise than Usman.

That’s because umar is 3 years older, Usman is definitely better at the same age

Thiago Silva maybe?

 

[Luckyme]

6.5. Good defensive wrestling and kicks. I agree he's still raw but the potential is there.

 

[dalegordon]

I dont tbh. Journeymen give him trouble yesterday

People forget it took time for khabibs game to evolve also. I met him after the tibau fight in Vegas(I am friends with one of the other fighters wrestling coaches and just ran into him in the hall not many people knew who he was at the time he was cool to talk to us for a bit)and he said he wasn't ready for that step up in competition. He won so I think he was but it was a very close fight. Huge step up from his first ufc fight. Point is that even khabib had struggles early and evolved.

 

[SovereignPhantom]

Seems like he doesn't have great offensive wrestling or that he at least prefers to stand and kick over completing a takedown and getting top control. His opponent was also nothing special from his record, but he did look pretty sharp on the feet offensively and defensively, though I'd like to see him against an opponent with better reach than that guy.

 

[tehMoose]

He looked pretty good, it's very hard to look good against Hamel tho, he went to split with Borics
