Usman Nurmagomedov Talks Trash On His Way To The UFC

PFL lightweight champion Usman Nurmagomedov spent this week ripping into the UFC's one hundred fifty-five pound division while talk of his own move to the promotion keeps heating up. He argued the current crop of lightweights isn't as strong as advertised, pointing out that Paddy Pimblett lost to Justin Gaethje, and he took aim at Ilia Topuria and Arman Tsarukyan too. It's the kind of confidence you'd expect from a champion angling for a big entrance, and it will only get louder if that move actually happens.
