[autotag]Umar Nurmagomedov[/autotag] and [autotag]Muhammad Mokaev[/autotag] both remained undefeated at UFC Fight Night 238, but their performances might’ve left something to be desired.
Nurmagomedov, No. 13 in the official UFC bantamweight rankings, earned a clean-sweep unanimous decision against Bekzat Almakhan but not before he was rocked in the first round and had to recover from a knockout.
