Kazakhstan contender suffered defeat in UFC debut at the hands of sibling Habib

In the world of mixed martial arts, families can play a significant role in shaping the careers of their members. This was evident at the recent UFC event, where Khabib Nurmagomedov's cousin, Umar Nurmagomedov, made his UFC debut and secured a victory.

Kazakhstani fighter Sergey Morozov faced Umar Nurmagomedov in a three-round bout. However, the fight ended earlier than expected in the second round due to a submission hold by Umar. This was Umar's first fight in the UFC and improved his personal MMA record to an impressive 13-0.

Khabib Nurmagomedov, the UFC lightweight champion, watched the fight with bated breath. He considered his brother's victory as an important win not only for their team but for their whole family. Khabib expressed his happiness over the win and congratulated Umar after the fight.

After the fight, Khabib entered the cage to show his support for both Umar and Sergey Morozov. He stated that a weight has been lifted off his shoulders due to his brother's win. However, he did not specify the same move that his brother used in his UFC debut.

Meanwhile, another Kazakhstani fighter, Jalgas Zhumagulov, will compete at UFC 257 on January 23. His opponent for the event is Swedish fighter Amir Albazi. The UFC fighter scheduled to fight Jalgas Zhumagulov at UFC 257 is not publicly known yet.

Khabib Nurmagomedov, who is set to retire after his next fight, promised to keep working after his brother's victory. He is determined to ensure that his legacy in the UFC continues to grow.

In conclusion, the UFC event was a family affair, with Khabib Nurmagomedov showing support for both his cousin and his opponent. Umar Nurmagomedov's win was a significant moment not only for him but for the entire Nurmagomedov family. As for Sergey Morozov, he debuted with a loss, but he can take solace in the fact that he fought against a formidable opponent and gave a good account of himself.
