Usman Nurmagomedov Will Not Be Stripped Of Bellator Title After Failed Doping Test
Rizvan Magomedov, manager of mixed martial arts fighter Usman Nurmagomedov, confirmed that Nurmagomedov will keep the Bellator lightweight championship belt despite his recent failed doping test.
According to Magomedov, Usman is still the reigning champion. However, details about his next fight will only be announced after the conclusion of his disqualification period, which is currently uncertain.
Nurmagomedov’s most recent fight took place in October 2023 at Bellator 300, where he faced Brent Primus. Initially, Usman emerged victorious from the bout, winning by unanimous decision. However, the result of the fight was later overturned due to reports of Nurmagomedov’s failed doping test.
As a result, the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) suspended Usman from competing for a duration of six months. Despite this setback, Nurmagomedov maintains an impressive record of 17 wins and no defeats.
