The disappointing debut of Khabib's cousin at UFC that caused Conor McGregor's teasing

[Inkriql]

This weekend Abubakar Nurmagomedov had his first chance at UFC, the most important mixed martial arts company in the world, and in which his cousin Khabib is one of the stars. The Russian fighter measured himself against the German David Zawada in Moscow and despite having everything in favor, he was defeated.

 

The fighter made his debut at the company headed by Dana White, but in reality his first fight in this sport was in 2011 when he beat Ibrahim Dzhantukhanov by submission.

This Saturday, Abubakar lost in the first round against Zawada by submission, after it was he who started the seizure of the octagon. The most striking thing is that his cousin, Khabib, has managed to be champion precisely because of his ability on the ground, rather than his cage.

The 29-year-old fighter, who had the presence of his cousin in the stands, came to the Moscow match with a record of 15 wins, two losses and just one defeat, but UFC is not the same as the rest of the companies. Obviously, you should improve if you want to succeed.

The one who spoke after the fight was Conor McGregor, whose last fight was defeat against Khabib. "Always a failure", "cowardly" and "Nurmagotaptap" (referring to the two strokes of abandonment in the shot made by the loser), wrote on Twitter the Irish, who then deleted his publications.

For his part, Khabib Nurmagomedov returned to the UFC in September this year, after what had been the scandal against McGregor in Las Vegas. The lightweight world champion returned with a triumph by submission in the third round against American Dustin Poirier in Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates) in the UFC 242 starfight.

At the UFC level, Nurmagomedov arrived with that victory at 12 consecutive times, tying the record of Tony ‘El Cucuy’ Fergunson, who has a 25-3 record and is destined to be his next opponent. Although he did not want to talk about it to the press, and said he needed "a couple of days to rest" and that "later we will talk about Ferguson." At the moment, Khabib's reign in the UFC continues.
