Shamil Musaev - about a potential fight with Ramazan Kuramagomedov.
What to do if Dagestanis are the best in the world?"
The fight hasn't been confirmed yet, but there's a good chance it will happen. Musaev is the PFL welterweight Grand Prix winner, and Kuramagomedov is the Bellator welterweight champion.
"A very good fighter, a powerful fighter," Musaev said of Kuramagomedov in an interview with Ushataika. "Versatile, a lefty, I like his fighting style, everything is clear with him. We'll see who wins.
I watched his fight with Jason Jackson. The impressions were good. He outclassed him. I liked how he worked the first three rounds - with class. That's his fighting style... It won't be easy to find the keys to him, that's 100 percent. If this fight takes place, I think it will be a tough 5-round fight.
Yes, there is such a thing - Dagestanis are being brought together again. But what can you do if Dagestanis are the best in the world? Today's situation proves it - two fellow countrymen will fight in 77 kg... It is not a fact, of course, that they will - perhaps they will."
Shamil Musaev was recognized as the best Russian fighter of 2024 based on the results of a large-scale survey in which 35 MMA journalists took part.
