“I thank these people who have been with my father for more than 10 years. My whole team, AKA and coach Javier, I love him so much, my whole team. Today I want to say that it was my last match. By no means will I come here without “I spoke to my mother, she doesn’t want me to continue fighting without my father. I promised her it would be my last fight, and if I gave the floor, I had to follow it. This was my last fight,” said the winner after the match in cages.
Three cars, a Russian sat in the middle alone. Police escort in front and back. Undefeated Nurmagomedov experienced a spectacular arrival. The star must sell. Two hours before the match, a fighter came to the hall, who won 28 times, never lost and did not win in all duels in just one round. After him, a temporary belt holder arrived in a similar style. In a sweatshirt and cap, Gaethje walked calmly into the locker room. The American shooter was at the scene.
I want to become the most dominant UFC wrestler in history, “Nurmagomedov said before the match. He made history on Saturday night and confirmed that he is an exceptional fighter.
Round 1: Introductory minute to knock, then Nurmagomedov took over the activity, Gaethje seemed unable to cope with the weight of the moment, fell into blows and breathed deeply, although he had flashes, but still ended up on his back, where the Russian ruled unmistakably.
Second round: The champion threw, quickly gained an advantageous position, put on a triangle and strangled the American. Gaethje knocked, but the referee did not notice and he fell asleep, then the referee ended the duel. Who waited for the battle for five rounds was disappointed, Nurmagomedov showed that he is exceptional, Gaethje had no chance.
At the end of the match, they both hugged and the fans could start to decide with whom the undefeated phenomenon would go to the jubilee thirtieth round. He surprised everyone. After the announcement, he knelt, kissed the octagon floor, and there were tears in his eyes. He thanked everyone and did not forget his father, who died a few months ago at the age of 57. He developed severe pneumonia, heart surgery, and was tested positive for covid-19. A man who was his coach, mentor and role model left his life.
“Today was my last fight in the UFC. It was my father’s dream. Dustin (Poirier) and Conor (McGregor) are going to fight together in January, I both beat them. I don’t care, “the king added and left the scene.
