Umar Nurmagomedov earned the biggest win of his unbeaten career when he took on Cory Sandhagen at UFC Fight Night Abu Dhabi.
A pivotal UFC Fight Night main event in Abu Dhabi saw Cory Sandhagen and Umar Nurmagomedov square off with a potential bantamweight title shot on the line.The highly-anticipated bantamweight matchup was originally meant to headline UFC Nashville last year, but after Nurmagomedov suffered an injury and each man picked up another win in their next outings the UFC elected to rebook the bout as the headliner for a Fight Night card in Abu Dhabi.
Nurmagomedov wasted no time closing the distance to drag Sandhagen to the mat, and although the unbeaten fighter ended up in promising grappling positions on several occasions he struggled to keep "Sandman" on the canvas for any extended length of time until the last two minutes of the fight.
