Bahraini sensation Rasul Magomedov continues his unstoppable rise in the MMA world with a dominant first-round victory over Brazilian veteran Pablo Benaion at BRAVE CF 87 in the Netherlands. The undefeated Light Heavyweight powerhouse showcased his elite skills by delivering a brutal elbow barrage that forced the referee to step in, marking another swift finish in his flawless professional career.
Magomedov, with a professional record of 6-0, has been a force to be reckoned with since transitioning from his amateur Heavyweight career, where he earned multiple IMMAF medals. He made a statement from his debut at BRAVE CF 72, defeating Mohamed Hisham Baraka, and followed it up with another first-round finish against Mohamed Laid at BRAVE CF 79.
With his latest win over Benaion, Magomedov has firmly established himself as a top contender in the BRAVE CF Light Heavyweight division. As the division prepares to crown a new champion at BRAVE CF 88, where Erko Jun takes on Alexander Wesner for the title, all eyes are on Magomedov. His dominant performances and flawless record have earned him high praise from BRAVE CF president Mohammed Shahid.
"Rasul Magomedov has proved to be one of the best Light Heavyweights in the world with that performance. He's a wrestling and combat sambo monster, an IMMAF Heavyweight world champion, and now undefeated as a professional at 205. He's the present AND the future of the division,” Shahid said.
The Light Heavyweight division is heating up, with Magomedov potentially fast-tracking his way to a title shot. With former champion Mohammed Fakhreddine and former title challenger Mohamed Said Maalem also in the mix, the stage is set for an exciting showdown in the division. However, with Magomedov's current momentum, he may have just leapfrogged the competition.
