Abubaker Nurmagomedov, the highly-touted younger brother of UFC contender Khabib Nurmagomedov, is slated to make his World Series of Fighting debut against welterweight prospect Jorge Moreno on Aug. 1 at WSOF 22, promotion officials told MMAFighting.com.
Nurmagomedov (9-1) is a 23-year-old sambo specialist who, like his brother Khabib, came up under the tutelage of his father Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov at Russia's FightSpirit Team. He has finished all nine of his professional victories, most recently defeating Vladimir Gunzu via first-round TKO.
Nurmagomedov's lone loss came in the form of a doctor's stoppage against Magomed Mustafaev during the second fight of a one-night tournament in Sept.
