Tough challenge for UFC debut
Almakhan is scheduled to compete against Umar Nurmagomedov in a bantamweight fight at UFC Vegas 87 on March 2, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Upon signing with the UFC, Almakhan is tasked with competing against an undefeated Nurmagomedov, who was previously slated to fight a top-five bantamweight before undergoing shoulder surgery. The promotion seems high on him already, and there may be good reason as to why. He signed with the UFC after going 17-1 with 15 finishes, 13 of them KO/TKOs. A win over Nurmagomedov would undeniably solidify Almakhan as an immediate threat in the UFC's bantamweight division.
