Umar Nurmagomedov Admits Pressure of Comparisons to Cousin Khabib

Umar opened up about the constant comparisons to UFC legend Khabib, calling them difficult to live up to. “It’s very hard to be compared to Khabib… He’s different, like an animal,” Umar said. He added that fans expect identical dominance from him and Usman, but “it doesn’t always happen.” Umar is 18-1 after a loss vs. Merab Dvalishvili in January.
