Amru Magomedov
Bright prospect to come out of Khabib’s training camp in Dagestan is UAE Warriors Lightweight contender Amru Magomedov.
Amazed by his all-around Lightweight talents as a prospect. Watching his UAE Warriors fight against Renan Oliviera, sliced him apart until first round submission.
Amru Magomedov comparison- Usman Nurmagomedov
Russian styled Taekwondo mixed with Combat Sambo beautiful to watch, great blend of styles that can create UFC/Bellator/PFL champion one day.
Amru Magomedov only has SIX pro fights but with more experience inside the cage and Dagestan style training with Khabib in his corner can create the next Usman Nurmagomedov. Recommend him staying with UAE Warriors progressively facing tougher talent in each fight, one or two title defenses match the Dagestan prospect against former UFC/BELLATOR/PFL fighter or top prospect. Passes the test sign with UFC or Bellator.
