The California-based promotion has added a red-hot prospect to its
roster – one with a familiar name.
According to
a report by MMA Junkie, Khasan
Magomedsharipov, younger brother of Ultimate Fighting Championship featherweight
contender Zabit
Magomedsharipov, has signed with Bellator MMA, where he is expected to continue
competing in the featherweight division. A date and a name for the
Russian fighter’s debut have yet to be announced.
The 20-year-old Magomedsharipov is a perfect 5-0 since his
professional debut just over two years ago, with four of those wins
coming inside the distance, three by submission. In his most recent
appearance at AMC Fight Nights 99 on Dec. 25, Magomedsharipov
smashed Mikhail
Tarkhanov at the 4:30 mark of the first stanza, pounding
Tarkhanov out with a stream of unanswered punches from back
mount.
Earlier this week, Bellator announced
a series of events for the first half of 2021, as part of its
arrangement with new broadcast partner Showtime Sports. The first
will be Bellator 255, which takes place on April 2.
