Bellator signs Khasan Magomedsharipov, Zabit's undefeated younger brother
Bellator has added a Magomedsharipov to its roster.
The younger brother of top UFC featherweight Zabit Magomedsharipov, 20-year-old Khasan Magomedsharipov has signed with Bellator, a promotion official informed MMA Junkie on Wednesday.
Like his brother, Khasan (5-0 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) is a featherweight. He’s spent time training with Zabit under Mark Henry in Tom’s River, N.J.
Khasan will enter Bellator as an undefeated professional. In five pro fights, Magomedsharipov has earned four finishes, including three submissions and a knockout.
En route to Bellator, Magomedsharipov competed for Fight Nights Global (FNG) and Gorilla Fighting Championship (GFC) among other promotions. He most recently competed at AMC Fight Nights Global 99 and beat Mikhail Tarkhanov by first-round TKO.
At this time, no date, location or opponent is set for his debut.
Bellator kicks off its 2021 schedule with three events in April. On April 2, Bellator 255 takes place and is headlined by a featherweight grand prix semifinal fight between champion Patricio Freire and Emmanuel Sanchez.
