LAS VEGAS – Tagir Ulanbekov believes things went smoothly against Nate Maness thanks to his preparation with Umar Nurmagomedov . The UFC flyweight says Nurmagomedov played a crucial role in getting him ready for Saturday’s bout at UFC Fight Night 214 . And it’s not only because Nurmagomedov is a quality fighter but also because Nurmagomedov himself had fought Maness in his most recent outing. “Umar and I have been training together for about 10 years at this point,” Ulanbekov told reporters afterward.
