The UFC 308 gala in Abu Dhabi has lost one bout. Said Nurmagomedov will not enter the octagon on Saturday.
The UFC 308 gala was to feature a Said Nurmagomedov vs Daniel Santos clash. The Brazilian fell off the schedule and the matchmakers of the UFC organization began a strenuous search for a suitable replacement. Unfortunately, in the end, despite challenges from several fighters, Said Nurmagomedov was taken off the UFC 308 fight card.
According to preliminary information, Nurmagomedov, who performs in the cockfighting division, is scheduled to appear at one of the next galas of the world’s best MMA league. The 32-year-old Dagestan has won five of his last six fights. Said has been fighting in the UFC since July 2018 and at this point his record in the organization is 7-2.
Said is often mistakenly considered Khabib Nurmagomedov’s brother or cousin, the fighters are not related to each other. In the case of fighters from Dagestan, there was simply a coincidence of names.
