It’s third time unlucky for Russian bantamweight Umar Nurmagomedov , with his latest attempt to make his UFC debut nixed by illness less than one week from fight night in Abu Dhabi. Nurmagomedov (12-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) was all set to make his octagon debut against former M-1 Global bantamweight champion Sergei Morozov (16-3 MMA, 0-0 UFC), who was also set for his UFC bow, at UFC 254, which takes place Saturday at Flash Forum on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi. The event streams live on pay per view following prelims on ESPN+ and ESPN2.
