Ramazan Kuramagomedov
Russia
New Bellator Welterweight Champion
Kuramagomedov defeated Jason Jackson via unanimous decision (48-47 x3) at Bellator Champions Series Dublin on June 22 to become the new Bellator Welterweight Champion.
ANALYSIS
Kuramagomedov had a brief stint with the UFC via Contender Series and was even scheduled for a fight once, though he was forced to drop out. He never got another chance, instead joining some regional promotions in Russia before catching on with Bellator. Now that Bellator has been acquired by PFL, Kurmagomedov may be limited to the Bellator International Series, as it's unclear if he has aspirations to enter the PFL 170-pound playoff at any point down the road.
