Bellator San Diego preview

The cousin of UFC Hall of Famer Khabib Nurmagomedov, Usman (17-0, 1 NC) beat Patricky Freire in 2022 for the Bellator lightweight title. A recent fight against Brent Primus went from a win to a no-contest after Nurmagomedov tested posted for a banned substance. Circumstances led to the test being invalid.

Shabliy (24-3) has 12 wins via knockout and seven via submission. He beat Tofiq Musayev and Freire in the Bellator Lightweight Grand Prix to earn a shot at gold.
