Umar Nurmagomedov isn't slowing down as he eyes his future shot at UFC bantamweight gold. While waiting for a potential matchup against current 135-pound champion Merab Dvalishvili, the undefeated Nurmagomedov (18-0) enters a different arena. This time, he will headline ADXC 7, taking on former two-time Bellator champion Eduardo Dantas in a highly anticipated grappling showdown.
Set for October 25 at the Mubadala Arena in Abu Dhabi, ADXC 7 promises to bring fireworks just a day before UFC 308 hits the UAE. Nurmagomedov, a fighter known for his exceptional grappling and submission skills, is eager to maintain his momentum after securing six straight victories in the UFC. His latest triumph, a unanimous decision win over Cory Sandhagen, has put him on the cusp of a title shot. With two submission victories in his first UFC bouts, Nurmagomedov has already demonstrated his ability to dominate on the ground, boasting seven submission wins across his MMA career.
Facing him is Eduardo Dantas, a seasoned grappler and jiu-jitsu black belt with a 23-8 MMA record. Dantas has also claimed seven wins via submission, notably defeating Zach Makovsky with an arm-triangle choke to capture the Bellator title in 2012. He followed that with a successful defense, submitting Anthony Leone via rear-naked choke.
The clash between these two elite fighters promises to be a tactical showcase of grappling prowess. With their extensive MMA backgrounds and submission arsenals, fans are in for a treat. In addition to the headline bout, ADXC 7 features other notable matchups, including jiu-jitsu world champion Isaque Bahiense facing Bruno Lima, and a showdown between Jansen Gomes and Uanderson Ferreira.
