• MMA record: 18-0-1
• Notable wins: Benson Henderson, Patricky Pitbull

Bellator lightweight champion Usman Nurmagomedov is the younger brother of UFC bantamweight Umar Nurmagomedov, and a cousin of former UFC lightweight champ Khabib Nurmagomedov.

He’s a fierce finisher with 14 of his 18 wins coming via stoppage. Hopefully we will see the 26-year-old test himself in the UFC in the future.
