As per EmChain, Nurmagomedov and Makhachev will be coming to India in the second quarter of 2023.
Known as the ‘Eagle’, the 34-year-old Nurmagomedov holds the record for the longest unbeaten streak in UFC history with 29 wins in his weight category. The former UFC champion also has won numerous titles to his name across mixed martial arts, sambo, grappling, and pankration.
