Khabib Nurmagomedov criticizes Magomed Zaynukov despite UFC debut win
Magomed
Zaynukov received some criticism from Khabib
Nurmagomedov despite a successful
Ultimate Fighting Championship debut.

Zaynukov took on fellow debutant Damian
Rzepecki (10-1) in a lightweight matchup at
UFC Abu Dhabi. The Russian unleashed vicious elbows to batter
Rzepecki, who showed immense heart in going the distance. “Wild
Chanco†eventually earned a unanimous decision win, handing
Rzepecki his first professional loss.

What Khabib Told Magomed Zaynukov after his UFC Abu Dhabi
victory

However, Zaynukov's teammate and mentor Nurmagomedov still found a
flaw in his performance. While the UFC Hall of Famer lauded
Zaynukov on his win, he didn't like the young prospect from his
team missing a takedown. Meanwhile, fellow teammate Islam
Makhachev congratulated Zaynukov on the exciting victory.

“Yeah, we spoke immediately after I got out of the cage,†Zaynukov
said at the post-fight press conference. “Khabib said that it was a
great fight, it was an exciting fight, fun fight. ‘But you missed a
takedown,' he said, ‘And that's not OK.' Islam just said,
‘Congratulations, that was a fun, exciting fight.' But they kind of
expected that this was going to be that type of fight.â€

Zaynukov (9-0) was already quite popular on social media even
before earning his UFC contract on
Dana White's Contender Series last year. The 31-year-old had
significant hype behind him going into his Octagon debut in Abu
Dhabi, further boosted by the viral “John Pork†meme.

Steve Erceg breaks silence after brutal UFC Abu Dhabi knockout loss
Steve
Erceg has addressed his brutal loss to Ramazonbek
Temirov, marking the former title challenger's fourth defeat in
the
Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Erceg (14-5) took on Temirov (20-3) in a flyweight matchup in the
co-main event of
UFC Abu Dhabi. Temirov had an evident power advantage over
Erceg, who had planned to take his opponent into deep waters.
However, the Australian didn't have a chance to get going as his
Uzbek counterpart put him to sleep with a pair of perfectly timed
right hands following a barrage of strikes in the opening
round.

Steve Erceg says he’s OK after Ramazonbek Temirov knockout at
UFC Abu Dhabi

Erceg now claims he had a great camp and felt in good shape ahead
of the fight, although it didn't go his way. He thanked the UFC and
Abu Dhabi before congratulating Temirov on his victory. Erceg is
grateful to his family and friends, and promises to bounce back
stronger.

“Just wanted to let you know that I'm OK,†Erceg said in an
Instagram video. “I had a great camp. I felt fantastic. But
unfortunately, things don't always go your way. First of all, thank
you to the UFC for the opportunity that you offered me. Thank you
to Abu Dhabi for the hospitality. And congratulations to Ramazon on
a great fight. Lastly, I would like to say to all my family and
friends that your continued support means the world. I'll be
back.â€

Erceg was fast-tracked to a title shot against Alexandre
Pantoja in just his fourth UFC outing in 2024. He came up short
against Pantoja in a valiant effort, which kicked off a three-fight
skid for the Aussie 125-pounder. Erceg had bounced back with wins
over Ode
Osbourne and Tim Elliott
before the latest loss against Temirov, who has finished two of his
three UFC wins in the first round so far, establishing himself as
one of the most promising up-and-comers in the division.
