Umar Nurmagomedov got off to a good start in the UFC 311 bantamweight title fight against champion Merab Dvalishvili , but things quickly went south. ”Young Eagle” suffered a broken hand in the opening round changing the way he approached the rest of the match. Nurmagomedov’s coach, Javier Mendez , revealed that Nurmagomedov hid the injury from his team during an appearance on Submission Radio . Had his coaches known, Mendez believes they could have changed game plans and saw success. After all, he won the first two rounds on two of the judges’ scorecards.
