A Dagestan still holding the UFC lightweight world champion belt Chabibas NurmagomedovasTalking to Magomed Ismailov, touched on many interesting topics. The champion said that he was no longer interested in any of the rivals in the lightweight category and assured that You will meet McGregoras It will no longer be what it was in the best of times.
“I’m not motivated by any competitor in the lightweight category anymore. Sure, when I hear the name St-Pierre, I want to stand up and run 10 miles, but you have to understand that he is 40 years old, so you should leave him alone. a good fighter who adequately represents the sport of MMA. What’s next? Charles Oliveira is a good fighter, but I wouldn’t find the motivation to fight him. Michael Chandler made his UFC debut and won, but we’ve already seen how many times he’s been defeated in his career. Raphael dos Anjos, Justin Gaethje, Dustin Poirier, Conor McGregor, all former champions and I beat them all, so I’m not interested in the second fights against them. As for Conora, I can only point out that no man will have two peaks during his career. It is not possible. This applies not only to Conor, but to everyone else. If we talk about teams, then there may be more peaks. For example, Real Madrid was at its peak in 2000 and then it reached a new peak in 2016, 2017, 2018. In team sports, players change and that is the most important factor. In boxing, wrestling, MMA fights, you are alone and there is no way to achieve the two peaks of your career, ”explained Ch.Nurmagomedov.
The last battle of the champion’s career is likely to be held in 2020. October 24 clash with J.Gaethje. Before that fight, Ch.Nurmagomedov fell ill with a pig and broke his finger, but even these problems did not prevent him from appearing in a cage.
“I started to feel bad on the plane, I had a fever. My condition got worse and worse, then they took me to the hospital. I spent 5 days in the intensive care unit. It was very bad. I couldn’t start training camp until September 24th. Not only that, on October 7. I broke my finger. I thought about asking to cancel the fight due to illness and fracture, but after consulting with the team, we decided to continue with the preparations. When the fight with Gaethje started, he hit me several times. He made a good shot from the bottom and left. Then I asked him if that was all he could do. Then I kicked him in the body and noticed he was choking. I asked him if he felt bad about acclimatization and he kept answering something for me. I kept thinking why he was answering my questions, because the fight is still going on. Then I realized that psychologically I had already lost that fight. I beat him not so much for my physical advantage as for my psychology, “recalled Ch.Nurmagomedov.
In a detailed conversation, Dagestan also addressed the youth of his country. He urged the children not to close the gym and to keep in mind the importance of learning well.
“Because we are like this, kids close up at gyms. We should address them and say that academic performance is no less important. First learn well and then go fight. Headless fighters are not really necessary for society because they are very dangerous people. In Dagestan, now 80 percent. the people are fighters, and the remaining 20 percent. calls himself disabled. We need at least 20 percent. the population would have brains. Our task with you is to reach young people so that science comes first. What did the Supreme say first? Keep reading. Understand? This is a very big problem in our society. We need children to not become new Chabibs and Ismailov, but rather doctors, teachers and engineers, ”added the champion.
