Usman Nurmagomedov could defeat Poirier and Gaethje, Vasilevsky believes
Russian fighter Vyacheslav Vasilevsky expressed confidence that Usman Nurmagomedov could defeat Americans Dustin Poirier and Justin Gaethje in head-to-head matches.
Earlier, Khabib Nurmagomedov’s second cousin defended the Bellator lightweight championship belt, defeating Alexander Shabliy by unanimous decision after five rounds. The title fight of the Russians became the main event of the tournament in San Diego.
— Usman doesn’t look like Habib at all, just like Umar. Khabib came out and demolished his opponent with a roller. If you take the fight between Usman and Alexander Shabliy, there were generally tactics and stand-up work. Moreover, it is clear that the team planned this. Khabib took a second and gave instructions from the corner. Usman has different dimensions – he is tall, drier and less inclined to fight. This is a completely different format. Khabib is more of an MMA fighter, while Umar and Usman are all-rounders with a penchant for striking techniques.
I would be interested to see Usman’s fight with an opponent like Khabib or Merab Dvalishvili, although he does not have such a strong fight. In general, with a person who is physically powerful, constantly rushing forward and trying to translate into a fight. Chabliy still likes to fight in a standing position. They had a tactical game, where Usman was more successful.
— Coach Hasanali Hasanaliev said that Usman would easily defeat Dustin Poirier and Justin Gaethje. Do you agree?
– I think yes. Gaethje and Poirier are not downed pilots, but they have already fought a lot and lost. They do not have the most important thing – the motivation that Usman has. When they enter the cage, Usman will be tense every second, tactically, focused, and they no longer have the same desire to win. This is Usman’s main driving force,” Vasilevsky told RB Sport.

I offer my condolences to their families, loved ones and everyone who knew them. Anthony, I wish you a speedy recovery. Hang on champ,” Usyk wrote on social networks.
