UFC on ABC 7 marked a rare non-PPV event for the company at Etihad Arena on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, but the main event produced a winner that might be headlining numbered cards down the line. Umar Nurmagomedov (18-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) got his breakthrough win in the bantamweight division in Saturday’s headliner when he scored a unanimous decision victory over perennial contender Cory Sandhagen (17-5 MMA, 10-4 UFC). Nurmagomedov’s performance capped off a night with some historic results, but partially in a saddening way. For more on the numbers, check below for MMA Junkie’s post-event facts from UFC on ABC 7.
