[Aluminati]

Touched him with teh jab

 

[sdpdude9]

Crazy KO, didn’t look like anything but he was out cold immediately. Shows you don’t need a ton of power if they don’t see it coming.

 

[Fact Checker]

Without a doubt the brightest prospect in MMA right now.


What a phenomenal talent Umar is.

 

[ChimRichalds]

Did not see Umar getting the KO like that. I'm sold.

 

[TriangleMonkey]

That punch was so damn short, dude is fucking lightning quick!


Thanks KAZ!!

You're the man, Kaz! Thanks for the gif

Such a sweet KO, punch looked very short too but man it was so powerful

 

[Deadwing88]

He has that sense of championship inevitability..

Usman and Umar are significantly superior prospects than Islam was ever considered.

What a phenomenal talent Umar is.

Ilia Topuria(25), Usman Nurmagomedov(24), Umar Nurmagomedov(26), Arman Tsaryukan*(26), Samandsr Murodov(23) are some of my absolute top prospects in Mma. Seeing a theme? You know what's funny? The UFC intentionally doesn't sign Russians and Central Asians. There's about 300 American fighters and 100 Brazilian fighters in the UFC, not even 40 Russians. Think about it. There's like 10 Central Asians.

In unrelated news, Aljomain Sterling just torn this other bicep and will be out another 2 years.

 

[Raptors2019]

I missed it live, just getting in now. It looked like he got KO'd from the kick to the body lol

I follow Russian MMA, without a doubt it’s a deep talent pool.


They can’t oversaturate the UFC with those guys because then how would they market loud mouth pretender series goofballs like O’Malley and Rosas?


I hope the UFC doesn’t mismanage Usman using him as card filler for the next decade like they did with Khabib and Mak. This dude is ready now.

Marketing/visa issues

I think it's mostly marketing, a lot of them have cleared visas. But visas are sometimes an issue too yeah. If they signed the top talent from the Caucasus and Central Asia like they do US, Brazil, Latin America and the UK the whole UFC would look verrry different. They do sign some of the best Russians but literally just some, a fraction.

You know what there's a lot of good Christian Russians they don't sign too*

 

[Prologue]

First couple looks at it and it felt James Krause level sus. Then you see that sneaky uppercut.

 

[Time]

Looks like he felt bad for the follow up shot.

They won't, Khabib and Islam paved the way. They rushed Umar from being unranked to 11th ranked before this fight simply because they wanted to market him. I hope we see Umar vs Ricky Simon, it's what Umars camp wanted before the Raoni fight and Simon needs a fight too. Tons of strikers he will absolutely crush with his wrestling in the division too. Bantamweight ain't easy though.

 

[Emjay]

That was sneaky as fuck

He went up because everybody avoided him
