Scott Cocker, head of Bellator, at a press conference that took place after the 288th tournament of the promotion, answered the question whether Usman Nurmagomedov can be compared with his brother Khabib.
“Can we say that Usman is our Khabib? While this guy is very young, he has to grow. But I will tell you this: Usman is one of our most dangerous fighters, because he knows how to do everything. Someone has good wrestling, someone has jiu-jitsu, and someone looks great in the rack. Usman is good in all three aspects, ”said the functionary.
Recall that Usman Nurmagomedov became the new Bellator lightweight champion after beating Patrika Freire by unanimous decision.
