Umar Nurmagomedov will attempt to keep his undefeated record alive in his third UFC appearance, facing Nate Maness at the promotion’s June 25th event. News of the matchup was first confirmed by reporter James Lynch on Thursday.
The pairing is joining a “Fight Night” card that doesn’t have a confirmed location at the moment.
Nurmagomedov currently has a strong flawless record of 14 wins as a pro. He has earned two of those victories in the UFC, which he officially joined in 2020.
