Video: Where does Bellator’s Usman Nurmagomedov rank among the best lightweights?

Usman Nurmagomedov is good, but how good is he?

The lightweight champion kept his undefeated record and belt Saturday when he successfully defended the title against Alexandr Shabliy in the main event of Bellator Champions Series: San Diego. Nurmagomedov (18-0) had a dominant showing, defeating Shabliy (24-4) 50-45, 49-46 and 49-46 on the scorecards.

This result leaves the question: Where does Bellator’s Usman Nurmagomedov rank among the best lightweights in MMA?

MMA Junkie’s Brian “Goze” Garcia, Nolan King, Danny Segura and host “Gorgeous” George Garcia discuss Nurmagomedov’s latest title defense, his standing in the sport, along with other results like Lorenz Larkin’s vicious KO win over Levan Chokheli.

Watch their discussion in the video above, and don’t miss this week’s complete episode of “Spinning Back Clique” below on YouTube.
