Ricky Simon or Jack Shore.
Ask and shall receive, winner of Jack Shore vs Ricky Simon.
March of 2022, Umar and Jack Shore were scheduled to fight but Umar withdrawn for unknown reasons. Now a fight can be in the horizon if both parties are willing to fight.
Shore is #14th ranked Bantamweight coming off his biggest win against Timur Valiev.
Umar can revenge his Dagestani brother’s loss, Displaying his high level leg kicks and grappling ability.
Shore challenges
- Little bit more quick
- Fast hands
- Black Belt in Taekwondo and Jiu-Jitsu
- Grappling pressure against the cage
- Jiu-Jitsu transitions
- Using his height and reach to his advantage
Fight against Ricky Simon would be a vast different fight, Wouldn’t last three rounds as someone WILL go to sleep.
Ricky Simon quietly coming into knocking out Assuncao in the second round, Simon on a four fight winning streak. Win over Umar Nurmagomedov (Khabib’s cousin) definitely help Ricky’s name but hard fight to win.
Ricky Simon
- Fast hands
- KO power

Either Jack Shore or Ricky Simon are both interesting fights, Looking forward to one of the two fighting Umar Nurmagomedov.
