Former UFC Champion Khabib Nurmagomedov said that his first cousin Usman Nurmagomedov has the potential to become one of the greatest fighters of all time.
Russian Usman Nurmagomedov defeated his compatriot Alexander Shabliy by unanimous decision (50-45, 49-46, 49-46) in the main event of the Bellator tournament, which took place in San Diego (USA).
“It’s a historic victory for us.” Usman did an incredible job. He beat a very good and experienced opponent.
Usman has shown the world why he is one of the best fighters on the planet. And he continues to improve, even though he just turned 26. I truly believe he has a great future ahead of him.
He has already written his name in history. But if he keeps his spirits up, he could become one of the greatest of all time. “I believe in it,” Khabib Nurmagomedov was quoted as saying by Bellator’s press service.
Usman Nurmagomedov made his second defense of his lightweight title. The 26-year-old now has 18 wins and no losses. Another fight was ruled invalid.
