Undefeated Russian wrestler Umar Nurmagomedov showed another great performance and scored his fourteenth victory in his professional career. Khabib Nurmagomedov’s 26-year-old cousin recorded his second UFC triumph. Brian Kelleher finished in the middle of the first round on the submission. After the match, Nurmagomedov said he could fight in a week. That wouldn’t be a problem, but the audience didn’t like another “statement” that Nurmagomedov couldn’t do at all.
Thanks to the translator, the fans did not appreciate Umar’s post-match interview at all, because it was lost in translation. Umar and his team thanked Russia and Dagestan for their support, and of course there was a call big buzz from fans in Las Vegas. But as it turned out, Nurmagomedov was mistranslated.

In fact, he complained about the mistake of a translator who, for some unknown reason, did not mention Nurmagomed’s passage on peace in Ukraine. As the Russian-speaking audience noted In an interview, Umar Nurmagomedov said: “I want to thank my team, I would like to thank my whole family in Russia and Dagestan. ” The last sentence was: “Especially May There Be Peace”but the translator decided not to translate this passage…
As a result, his victory was devalued and fans thought that Umar was highlighting mainly Russia and Dagestan. Joe Rogan “relieved” the whole situation, who had great difficulty pronouncing the name Nurmagomedov. During the week, the more famous Nurmagomedov – Khabib, who has not yet taken a public position on the conflict in Ukraine, was also criticized on this topic.
