Just when it seemed like 2025 was a bad year for the fighters, a couple of registered massive wins at UFC Kansas City. Ikram Aliskerov and Abus Magomedov, who were both featured on the main card of the Fight Night event, walked out of the State Farm Arena with massive victories. Their wins earned them some pleasant words from the biggest star to come out of Dagestan, Khabib Nurmagomedov.
Firstly, Khabib Nurmagomedov was happy to see Ikram Aliskerov get back to what he’s best at–finishing his opponents. “Welcome back stha,” ‘The Eagle’ wrote on his Instagram stories, as he lauded the 32-year-old middleweight. Khabib then turned his attention to the next middleweight winner of the night, Abus Magomedov, who bested Michel Pereira in a 3-round bout via decision. The UFC Hall of Famer seemed to be expecting a win from the 34-year-old, as he gave him a pat on the back by saying, “Good job.”
