UFC President Dana White recently revealed that bantamweight fighter Umar Nurmagomedov, who is on a 16-fight win streak and happens to be the cousin of Khabib Nurmagomedov, is finding it difficult to secure ranked opponents. This is a common problem for prospects trying to break into the rankings, as ranked fighters are often unwilling to face unranked opponents who could pose a threat to their position. Khabib, who faced a similar challenge with his teammate Islam Makhachev in the past, has offered to help Umar with his development and promotion, just as he did for Islam. It’s a testament to the Nurmagomedov family’s dedication to the sport and their willingness to help fellow fighters rise up the ranks in the UFC.
