“He definitely didn’t want to let go because if he gave any space, I was going to be gone faster than he wanted me to be...I felt him getting more desperate to hold me. That’s what I felt. If there were rounds four and five, it would have been interesting. -shared his experience of fighting Umar Nurmagomedov at UFC 321 via Tim Welch”

“He was fast. I didn’t expect him to be so quick in taking the back and locking the body triangle. He had good heavy pressure, just super sticky. I’ve felt guys like that in the gym before... But this guy, I could defend everything. He had solid control, nothing I haven’t felt before. It’s just a matter of training a little better for it. It’s whatever, it’s a style of fighting -shared his experience of fighting Umar Nurmagomedov at UFC 321 via Tim Welch”
