One of Bellator’s top lightweight contenders finds himself in potentially hot water in Russia over accusations of ramming a police officer with a vehicle.
The Russian news agency TASS reported that that the Bellator fighter Usman Nurmagomedov, the cousin of Khabib Nurmagomedov, was arrested at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport after a flight he was on landed at the airport. Another person, Kamal Idrisov, was also arrested with Nurmagomedov as both men are suspected of hitting a police officer with a car as mentioned earlier.
The alleged incident happened in Dagestan at the Kaspiysk Airport before Nurmagomedov and Idrisov boarded a plane that would bring them to Moscow where they were ultimately arrested.
