Bellator MMA lightweight Usman Nurmagomedov stole the show as he secured a first-round TKO win at Bellator 263. Nurmagomedov folded his opponent, Luis Muro like a law chain when he landed a crippling knee to the liver. The body shot was the beginning of the end for ‘The Dragon’ who couldn’t stand up to Nurmagomedov’s power and precision.

The end came at 3:30 of the first round and now the Russian has improved on his undefeated record. He moves to 13-0 and is one of the brightest prospects in the entire sport. Furthermore, his cousin Khabib Nurmagomedov was in the corner for the event and went 3-0 as a coach on the night.
