Being a free agent at the moment, Nurmagomedov is yet to decide his next move, but it looks like the undefeated fighter is using his leisure days to have some fun with his Dagestani brothers. <\/p>\n<p>A recent video has revealed Nurmagomedov trolling <a href=\"https:\/\/mmasucka.com\/..\/..\/news\/ufc-commentator-drops-surprising-claim-about-islam-makhachevs-dominance\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Islam Makhachev<\/a> hilariously.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>What did Usman Nurmagomedov Tell Islam Makhachev?<\/p>\n<p>A recent video from Makhachev\u2019s locker room is doing the rounds on the internet. As the clip plays, the <a href=\"https:\/\/mmasucka.com\/..\/..\/pfl\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">PFL <\/a>fighter is spotted hanging with the <a href=\"https:\/\/mmasucka.com\/..\/..\/ufc\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">UFC <\/a>Welterweight Champion. <\/p>\n<p>However, the 22-0 fighter also pokes fun at Makhachev\u2019s face and warns him lightheartedly how he might not want to visit his home with the scar on his face.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nurmagomedov said, \u201cYou can&#8217;t go home looking like that.

Although he did win the fight, Ian Garry too, showed great resistance. During a point in the bout, Garry managed to find Makhachev\u2019s face and delivered some brutal knuckle shots that opened up the Dagestani champion\u2019s face.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>However, setting aside the brotherly trolling, Usman also had high praise for his fellow Dagestani.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Usman Nurmagomedov Impressed with Islam Makhachev\u2019s Skills<\/p>\n<p>Following the victory, Makhachev received some warm words from the PFL star. Commenting on the fight, Nurmagomedov stated that given the form Makhachev was in, he would soon find another record to break in the UFC.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The 28-year-old said, \u201cIslam Makhachev just broke all records that the UFC has, I don&#8217;t even know what they have. I think he&#8217;s gonna find  and break it too. This summer I think is gonna be one of the best summers for our team.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/home_of_fight\/status\/2089803167018127804\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<p>With Carlos Prates probably on the list next, Makhachev is surely eyeing more UFC glory in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Usman Nurmagomedov hilariously leg pulls Islam Makhachev for his face injury.
