Daniel Cormier had high praise for how Umar Nurmagomedov handled adversity at UFC Fight Night 238. Nurmagomedov (17-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC) was knocked down early by newcomer Bekzat Almakhan in their main card bout Saturday but rallied to dominate him on the ground for the unanimous decision win. Cormier, a training partner of Nurmagomedov’s, said the undefeated contender was badly rocked by Almakhan, but used his wrestling instincts to survive. “I was talking to him in the octagon, and I showed him the video. I said, ‘How hurt were you by the punch from Almakhan?’” Cormier said on his ESPN show “Good Guy/Bad Guy” with Chael Sonnen
