Paul Hughes was robbed! Nurmagomedov was gassed and scurrying for his life. Hughes deserved that win!

Tremendous fight and performance! Easy win for Hughes, he DOMINATED THAT FIGHT. And Umar exactly what it says on the tin, a Nurmagamedov. Runner, sprinter, bolter, scarper, scurrying “fighter”.
The Nurmagomedovs are not fighters. They are the most non fighting fighters out of… https://t.co/oHzDcJ0mF0— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) January 25, 2025
Honestly it’s a close fight but to beat a champion need to do more
It always been like that, championships rounds striking Hughes were better , Usman control time on the ground were better— Muhammad Mokaev (@muhammadmokaev) January 25, 2025
