VIDEO: Umar Nurmagomedov looks set for UFC gold after epic ... (INSIDER)

LAS VEGAS — Oh. My. Goodness. After watching Umar Nurmagomedov score a savage first-round knockout over Raoni Barcelos at the UFC Vegas 67 event, ...

It is unclear who, on this form, will volunteer to fight Nurmagomedov. Nurmagomedov then told Insider and other reporters at a post-event press conference that he wants to compete up to four times in 2023, and intends on holding the UFC belt aloft by 2024. Barcelos later recovered but even when he was helped to a stool in the middle of the Octagon, he still looked dazed, confused, and disorientated. Late in the opening round, Nurmagomedov threw a knee and clattered Barcelos with a close-range left hook that dropped him to the floor before following up with a hammer fist that bounced off his already unconscious opponent's skull. - The UFC returned to the Apex after a four-week hiatus and started 2023 with a bang. We've seen Umar's grappling prowess, and we've seen the relentless rear-naked chokes, however, on Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, we saw a unicorn emerge.

UFC Vegas 67 video: Umar Nurmagomedov flattens Raoni Barcelos ... (MMA Fighting)

Umar Nurmagomedov remained undefeated with a devastating first-round knockout over Raoni Barcelos to kick off the UFC Vegas 67 main card.

It was an emphatic finish from arguably the best prospect in the 135-pound division, as Nurmagomedov moved to 16-0 with the victory. That’s when Nurmagomedov went back to the midsection yet again, except this time he followed with the short left hook that clipped Barcelos and knocked him out cold. Nurmagomedov looked comfortable on his feet and never appeared to even contemplate a takedown in the moment. Best known for his grappling dominance, Nurmagomedov looked ready to trade strikes on Saturday, but a kick to the body followed by a short left hook was all he needed to separate Barcelos from consciousness. March, I will be ready.” “I’ll be ready for March,” Nurmagomedov said.
