Nurmagomedov puzzled by Figueiredo strategy

    Umar Nurmagomedov defeated Deiveson Figueiredo by decision at UFC 324 in Las Vegas on Saturday, preserving his place inside the bantamweight top five.

    Following the three-round fight he said Figueiredo fought cautiously and seldom engaged, a game plan Nurmagomedov felt made it difficult to deliver a statement performance.

    While the win keeps him in the contender mix, it reportedly does not guarantee an immediate shot at the title.

    Nurmagomedov added that Ramadan could affect when he competes next and that he intends to actively seek another matchup rather than wait.

    He also indicated he would be willing to face one of the co-main event winners from UFC 324, according to post-fight comments.
