<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Who is Umar Nurmagomedov?Â </strong></h2>
<b>Umar Magomednabiyevich NurmagomedovÂ </b>comes all the way from the picturesque Dagestan and is the cousin of MMA phenom Khabib <span style="font-weight: 400">Nurmagomedov.

In the following years, he also took up Thai boxing and thereafter trained under the highly regarded Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov. His coach was also his uncle, as

At the age of only 19, Umar Nurmagomedov became a combat sambo world champion in the 62kg division. Consequently, the very next year, he won the WMMAA World Championship (bantamweight division).
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Umar Nurmagomedov's Wife and Kids</strong></h2>
Following suit to the Dagestani clan, young Umar's personal life is under the wraps. Although he is considered single, no information about his personal life has been disclosed yet!

And for his UFC debut, the fighter had to overcome several hindrances, from cancellation to the passing of his uncle and coach Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov.</span>

Nevertheless, his electric performance against Sergey Morozov at UFC on ESPN: Chiesa vs. Magny left quite the mark. He won the bout with a rear-naked choke in the second round. His next was Brian Kelleher for UFC 272 which ended with another choke but this time in the first round itself. His next victim was Nate Maness for UFC Fight Night: Tsarukyan vs. Gamrot, wherein he clinched a decision win.

And his explosive reign continued against Raoni Barcelos, at UFC Fight Night: Strickland vs. Imavov, and earned a 'Performance of the Night' bonus with a first-round KO. Against Bekzat Almakhan, at UFC Fight Night 238, although initially, it seemed like Almakhan was dominating the bout, Umar turned the tables soon and clinched the victory with a unanimous decision.

And now, after a missed opportunity to face Cory Sandhagen at UFC on ESPN: Sandhagen vs. Font, due to a shoulder injury, the Dagestani is gearing up for a go in the bantamweight title eliminator bout in Abu Dhabi (UFC on ABC 7).
