After being out of action just a few days short of two years due to a string of unfortunate knee injuries, top lightweight contender Khabib Nurmagomedov was itching to get back into the Octagon at last night’s (Sat., April 16, 2016) UFC on FOX 19 from the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida.
His original opponent, streaking Tony Ferguson, was forced off the card due to having blood in his lungs, so “The Eagle” took on (very) late replacement Darrell Horcher at a catchweight of 160 pounds.
As expected, the heavy favorite Nurmagomedov used his vaunted world-class wrestling skills to throw Horcher to the mat after a few decent moments from the debutee early, raining down a relentless assault of ground and pound to earn the stoppage victory in the second round.
It was a triumphant return for the dominant but oft-injured Nurmagomedov, and now his real battle to win the UFC lightweight championship will begin.
Check out the full fight video highlights of his return win over Horcher here:

Khabib Nurmagomedov just wanted to fight at UFC on FOX 19.
The unbeaten lightweight contender missed several months of action with injuries himself, so when Tony Ferguson was forced out, Nurmagomedov begged for an opponent.
Officials signed prospect Darrell Horcher to face “The Eagle,” and Horcher took him to the second round before falling Saturday night.
After, Nurmagomedov offered his respect to Horcher and even extended an invitation to help him train later on down the road.
Respect to @HorcherMMA.You are the man, you took this fight shortly and gave me a chance to come back.You can rely on my help in future.

UFC on Fox 19 in Tampa, Florida, featured the return of “The Eagle” Khabib Nurmagomedov on Saturday.
This was originally supposed to be a main event title eliminator between Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson, but an injury to Ferguson threw those plans out of the window. Instead, Darrell Horcher signed a UFC contract to take the fight on short notice.
It was a tall order in Horcher’s Octagon debut. Nurmagomedov did what was expected and ran through Horcher like a hot knife through butter.
It took a couple of minutes into the first round, but soon Nurmagomedov put Horcher on the mat with a thud. A big slam got the fight right where he wanted it. Horcher couldn’t do anything off his back to threaten the Dagestani, and Nurmagomedov easily took the first round.
The second round wasn’t much different.
Nurmagomedov took Horcher down and put him on the receiving end of a beating. Eventually, the referee had seen enough and pulled Nurmagomedov off.
Horcher will earn himself another go-around in the UFC, and he’ll get a much fairer matchup than the undefeated title contender next time. This was not a fair fight on paper, and it was much too soon in his career to face The Eagle.
It was a complete mismatch.
If nothing else, Horcher got on national television against one of the best in the world. He could have done worse for his branding.
As for Nurmagomedov, this was perhaps the best-case scenario. He had not fought in the UFC in almost two years. This fight reintroduced him to the UFC fans who may have forgotten him, and it helped knock off some of the cage rust.
The difficulty for the UFC will come in deciding what is next for Nurmagomedov. He is undefeated, holds a win over the lightweight champion Rafael Dos Anjos and is the No. 2-ranked contender in the official UFC rankings. A title shot is not out of the question.
The issue with a title shot for Nurmagomedov is that in his absence, others have made their case against elite competition.
The UFC is justified no matter which way it goes in booking Nurmagomedov’s next fight. For fans, it’s just nice to have a healthy Eagle back in the company. Tampa welcomed him back with open arms, and Horcher provided the tuneup he needed for an emphatic return.

UFC on FOX 19 goes down in Tampa, Florida on Saturday April 16 but does so with a massively reduced amount of fire power. What started as a great free card with some enticing fights, has steadily declined due to some unfortunate circumstances. First Tony Ferguson pulled out of his long awaited bout with Khabib Nurmagomedov, then Lyoto Machida vs. Dan Henderson was scrapped due to ‘The Dragon’ failing a drug test. That said, there’s still some solid talent on the card.
Rose Namajunas vs. Tecia Torres in the women’s strawweight division has been promoted to the co-main event in Tampa, and of course Glover Teixeira and Rashad Evans meet in the main event slot now. ‘The Eagle’ remains on the card, facing wild card substitute Darrell Horcher, and there’s a featherweight bout between Cub Swanson and Hacran Diaz too.
Adding some juice to the prelims are Michael Chiesa, Beneil Dariush, Bethe Correia, John Dodson and many more.
