It is time to stop referring to Umar Nurmagomedov as “Khabib Nurmagomedov‘s cousin.” The 23-year old Dagestani prospect improved to 10-0 with a first round rear naked choke victory over veteran Taras Grytskiv at GFC 14. The win was Nurmagomedov’s fourth career submission victory, and his second career first round finish.
