At least Maksum is a good prospect. The only thing Magomedov is good for is being fodder to someone good in the UFC on short notice. He’s a welterweight right? You do not know the joy I’d feel seeing “(insert fighter here) is out against Geoff Neal, undefeated prospect Magomed Magomedov accepts fight on short notice”. That’s the only thing this boring bum is good for

Also I know Nunes was brought in to lose Maksum but sheesh, dudes gotta be one of the worst and weakest 8-0s I’ve ever seen. He’s got a good get up game and I know Azat is really damn good, but dude had like, no answers to anything and got subbed soooo easily
