Video: Could Bellator champ Usman Nurmagomedov be world’s No. 1 lightweight?

Another dominant performance at Bellator 300 has Usman Nurmagomedov squarely in the conversation as MMA’s best lightweight.

[autotag]Usman Nurmagomedov[/autotag] stayed unbeaten and defended his lightweight title with a dominant performance against former champ Brent Primus to close out Bellator 300.

It looked effortless, at times, as Nurmagomedov claimed a clean-sweep unanimous decision victory with three scores of 50-45 from the judges. Champs from other promotions always are being compared to titleholders in the UFC.

How would Nurmagomedov fare in the UFC? Could he be the world’s best fighter at 155 pounds? Our “Spinning Back Clique” panel of Mike Bohn, Farah Hannoun, and Brian “Goze” Garcia answer that with host “Gorgeous” George Garcia.
