Former Bellator champion Vitaly Minakov believes that domination Usman Nurmagomedov in its category will last a long time.
On Saturday in San Diego (USA), Nurmagomedov defeated American Brent Primus by unanimous decision at the Bellator 300 tournament and defended his lightweight championship belt. The Russian reached the final of the promotion Grand Prix. Nurmagomedov remains an undefeated fighter. His record is 18 victories in 18 fights.
— Usman is gaining momentum. It can be highlighted. He became very confident in his fights. Usman dominates his category. And I think his dominance will last a long time. I look at him, I see that his preparation for fights has become serious, and during the fights he looks very confident, both in the stands and on the ground.
— Can we say that Usman is following in Khabib’s footsteps?
— All the guys who worked with Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov and now work with Khabib have the same school. They do not seek the good of the good. Why change or look for something if there is a proven training system and tactics for fighting a fight? As long as there is success, you need to stick to that direction, the school that brings titles, belts, awards, medals,” Minakov told .
