Salikhov predicted the outcome of the fight between Nurmagomedov and Sandhagen

This expected event attracts the attention of both professionals of this sport and amateurs. As soon as it became known that the tournament would open with a fight between Nurmagomedov and Sandhagen, the talk around the upcoming tournament increased.

Initially, everyone believed that Islam Makhachev, who has already become a real star of the UFC tournaments in Abu Dhabi, would come to the event for the third time. But this time the project organizers decided to please fans from all over the world with a fight between another Russian – Umar Nurmagomedov. The second most important event in the tournament is planned to be a bright uncompromising fight in the welterweight division, in which a veteran of the organization (former Strikeforce and WEC welterweight champion) American Nick Diaz and an American of Brazilian origin Vicente Luque should meet.

Russian mixed martial artist Muslim Salikhov considers his compatriot Umar Nurmagomedov to be the undisputed leader against Corey Sandhagen. It's not just patriotism out of thin air, but also the fact that the whole world has long known how strong fighters are from Russia. Salikhov confidently claims that Corey doesn't have a single chance. Our fighter's technique really does arouse admiration in many, but Umar's American opponent is far from simple. Cory is ranked #2 in the official UFC Flyweight rankings. He has many victories over very strong and bright fighters.

However, all the predictions regarding the upcoming fight only inflame the curiosity of fans and heat up the excitement around the prestigious tournament. The event is expected to be exciting in any case, so you should not miss the opportunity to attend it.
