Bellator Champions Series San Diego will be headlined by undefeated Usman Nurmagomedov (17-0, 1 NC) attempting to retain his 155-pound title when he locks horns with Alexander Shabliy (23-3), a man who has not tasted defeat in eight years. In addition, one of the world’s best bantamweights and former champion Raufeon Stots (20-2) returns to action against Brazil’s Marcos Breno (15-3). Also, Southern California’s own Lorenz Larkin (26-8) will be competing against Georgia’s Levan Chokheli (13-2), a winner of his last three contests. Both men will be vying to earn the distinction of being No. 1 contender for the Bellator welterweight title.
