Nurmagomedov remains Bellator champion for now

Scott Coker, president of Bellator, announced the decision on the status of the promotion's lightweight champion Usman Nurmagomedov will be accepted by the organization after the opening of the doping sample B. Until then, Usman remains the current champion. It is also likely that Nurmagomedov will retain his status as a participant in the Lightweight Grand Prix.

Let us remind you that Usman Nurmagomedov failed a doping test after his fight with Primus, which he won by decision. After this, the result of the fight was annulled, and Usman himself was suspended from fighting for 6 months.
