Bellator has added another top notch bantamweight to the roster after signing Russian fighter Magomed Magomedov to an exclusive contract.
Bellator officials confirmed the news to MMA Fighting following an initial report from CBS Sports.
With a 16-1 record, Magomedov has built an impressive resume while primarily competing in Absolute Championship Berkut.
His highest profile win came against future UFC champion Petr Yan in 2016 when Magomedov handed him a defeat by split decision. Yan avenged that loss in their rematch 13 months later, which stands as the only defeat on Magomedov’s resume.
