“After I was in Dagestan, I punch my arm,” Nurmagomedov instructed ESPN MMA. “I’m going to show the physician and I confirmed them. They did, like, not an MRI however once they examine bone? An X-Ray? They did X-ray they usually mentioned, ‘You broke [your arm]’.
“After 20 days I go again. Even when I was broken, I was running. I want to still be in shape, you know. Even that time I try run, try to do shadow boxing, try to be in shape. And after 20 days I go again, and it’s become much better.
“Even my punches and other things, I do grapple, I can do wrestling class. Everything I can do. Then I called my manager Ali [Abdelaziz] and I said to him ‘hey, I want to fight’. He said ‘but we said we’re injured’ and I said ‘I told you, take this fight’.
Nurmagomedov’s manager advised him not to take the fight, but the 29-year old Russian insisted.
