President of the AMC Fight Nights promotional company Kamil Gadjiev told what he would like to see Usman Nurmagomedov competing in the lightweight division of the Absolute Fighting Championship (CFU ).
On Saturday in San Diego (California, USA), Nurmagomedov defeated Brent Primus by unanimous decision in a fight for the lightweight champion belt at the Bellator 300 tournament and reached the final of the promotion’s Grand Prix. The Russian remains an undefeated fighter. His record is 18 victories in 18 fights.
— I believe that in Bellator, in this weight, in principle, the Russians dominate. First of all, it is Usman Nurmagomedov. There is still a good Russian fighter Alexandre Chabli . I don’t know how the Grand Prix grid works, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they end up in the final.
But for me, the litmus test of a fighter’s abilities remains his participation in tournaments under the auspices of the UFC. It’s great that this path has been chosen for Usman. He has now become Bellator champion, he will gain experience and money. And then I would really like to see him compete in the UFC lightweight division.
In principle, everything is logical. The UFC currently dominates this weight class. Islam Makhachev . If we take age indicators, then the dominant Islam could be replaced in three years by the dominant Usman. Thus, the Nurmagomedov dynasty would continue to control the UFC lightweight division. It would be epic,” Gadzhiev told .
