Khabib Nurmagomedov was front and center for his cousin Usman’s hard-fought victory at Bellator Champion Series last night.
The former UFC champion was ecstatic to see more MMA success come to the family, and he was very proud of his cousin Usman for defending his Bellator lightweight championship. This win marks the 18th in a row for the young Dagestani fighter, who remains undefeated just like his older cousin and mentor, Khabib Nurmagomedov.
Usman Nurmagomedov defended his title against Alexander Shabliy, who was on a nine-fight win streak before getting defeated last night via unanimous decision.
