Recently the seven year anniversary of Khabib Nurmagomedov’s 2013 bout with Abel Trujillo took place, and the lightweight champ reflected on the historic fight.

Nurmagomedov set a record at UFC 160, by taking Trujillo down 21 times over three rounds. The undefeated fighter cruised to unanimous decision win.

Recently Nurmagomedov posted the comments and video clip below.

At this fight, which happened 7 years ago, I placed a record in #UFC 21 takedowns in single fight. Month before the fight I injured my knee and wasn’t able to take opponents back.
⠀
Decision to make was very simple)) just grab and throw your opponent for 15 minutes straight. if there is a desire, there will always be a solution.

Я за месяц до боя повредил боковые связки колена и в бою не мог забирать спину соперника. – Решение было простым))) просто хватаешь и бросаешь в течении 15 мин боя без остановки. Если есть желание решение всегда найдётся.
