Khabib Nurmagomedov: Umar, keep your head up, young man
Ex UFC fighter believes that the promising fighter must continue to train the same way, having no doubt that he will win the championship title.
"Umar, keep your head up, young man. You've shown that you're one of the best in the world right now. We still have a lot of work to do, we need to work on our mistakes and get back in the title race," he wrote in his message to Umar, while he told Tagir Ulanbekov:
"Tagir Ulanbekov did a good job and made me very happy. But I know he can do even better. We need to get a few more wins this year, we can't forget our goal."
Ulanbekov was quite good, defeating Clayton Carpenter, who had not suffered a single defeat until this match. Although he won this match, Ulanbekov didn't look so convincing. Khabib emphasized that he will have to do much better in the future.
Khabib Nurmagomedov is a person with a specific mentality, which he showed while competing in the UFC. His mindset is truly something special, and you can feel that he wants to instill the same values, norms and mindset in his fighters.
