Abubakar Nurmagomedov discusses his upcoming fight at WSOF 22, his recent developments, as well as his longterm goals in the United States.
UFC fans are undoubtedly accustomed to seeing Dagestani lightweight Khabib Nurmagomedov. Much about the undefeated fighter is distinctive: his papakha headwear, visible during weigh-ins and walkouts; his accent, think yet highly entertaining; his fighting, effortless yet suffocating.
Khabib's recent success under the UFC banner ushered in a new generation of North Caucasus fighters looking to spread their wings in a foreign continent. Dagestani fighters began to join the UFC and other American promotions in far greater quantities, including Khabib's younger cousin and adopted brother, Abubakar.
