Usman Nurmagomedov Hilariously Trolls Islam Makhachev Following Facial Damage

The entire MMA world is currently focused on Usman Nurmagomedov’s next big decision. Being a free agent at the moment, Nurmagomedov is yet to decide his next move, but it looks like the undefeated fighter is using his leisure days to have some fun with his Dagestani brothers.

A recent video has revealed Nurmagomedov trolling Islam Makhachev hilariously. 

What did Usman Nurmagomedov Tell Islam Makhachev?

A recent video from Makhachev’s locker room is doing the rounds on the internet. As the clip plays, the PFL fighter is spotted hanging with the UFC Welterweight Champion.

However, the 22-0 fighter also pokes fun at Makhachev’s face and warns him lightheartedly how he might not want to visit his home with the scar on his face. 

Nurmagomedov said, “You can't go home looking like that. If your mom sees you like this... no way!"

What Nurmagomedov was referring to was the deep cut on Makhachev’s face. Although he did win the fight, Ian Garry too, showed great resistance. During a point in the bout, Garry managed to find Makhachev’s face and delivered some brutal knuckle shots that opened up the Dagestani champion’s face. 

However, setting aside the brotherly trolling, Usman also had high praise for his fellow Dagestani. 

Usman Nurmagomedov Impressed with Islam Makhachev’s Skills

Following the victory, Makhachev received some warm words from the PFL star. Commenting on the fight, Nurmagomedov stated that given the form Makhachev was in, he would soon find another record to break in the UFC. 

The 28-year-old said, “Islam Makhachev just broke all records that the UFC has, I don't even know what they have. I think he's gonna find and break it too. This summer I think is gonna be one of the best summers for our team."

With Carlos Prates probably on the list next, Makhachev is surely eyeing more UFC glory in the future.
