Khabib Nurmagomedov was at the Forum in Inglewood, California as Bellator 263 was underway. ‘The Eagle’ was present in the capacity of a coach for a couple of fighters who were fighting on the high-profile card. Chiefly, the card was receiving a lot of buzz as the Bellator featherweight Grand Prix finals would finally be contested.

One such fighter from Nurmagomedov’s stable who wanted to make an impact was Gadhzi Rabadanov, and he did so. Rabadanov knocked out his opponent Daniel Carey cleanly and fans couldn’t get enough of his surgical performance. The finish came from a left hook that landed flush as Carey tried to throw a calf kick.
