Nurmagomedov defeats the sixth American for a career in the UFC

Prior to this, the victims of the 30-year-old Dagestan were Abel Trujillo (UFC 160), Pat Healy (UFC 165), Darrell Horcher (UFC on Fox), Michael Johnson (UFC 205) and Al Yakvinta (UFC 223).

It is noteworthy that this is the third case when Nurmagomedov finishes the match ahead of schedule with representatives of the United States. In three more cases, the battle lasted all the allotted time and the judges recognized the Russian winner unanimously.

It was previously reported that the victory over the American Dustin Porrier in the main fight of the UFC 242 tournament was for the Russian fighter Khabib Nurmagomedov for the 12th consecutive time under the auspices of the promotion.

RT led the text broadcast of the battle for the title of champion of the Absolute Fighting Championship in lightweight between Nurmagomedov and Porie.
