Khasan Magomedsharipov shined on the international stage.
Making good on both his U.S. and promotional debut, Magomedsharipov (6-0 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) scored a second-round TKO of Jonathan Quiroz at Bellator 263 on Saturday.
Younger brother of UFC featherweight contender Zabit Magomedsharipov, the 20-year-old remained unbeaten and continued to live up to the hype surrounding him by displaying a well-rounded game to take out Quiroz.
“Well, of course it’s very exciting for me because this is the first fight abroad,” Magomedsharipov said at the post-fight news conference. “I used to fight in smaller promotions in Russia and this is the first fight abroad in the U.S., my debut in Bellator, and I was excited. I was super excited, and I like it here. It’s like a level up game.”
