Gadzhi Rabadanov set the bar high for the rest of the Bellator 263 fighters by delivering a thunderous finish.
A protege of Khabib Nurmagomedov, Rabadanov made a successful Bellator debut on Saturday at The Forum in Inglewood, Calif. with a ferocious counter left hand that dropped his opponent Daniel Carey, leading to his 11th career finish.
Check out the highlight of the stoppage below:
Rabadanov showed impeccable timing throughout the 3:57 of action using effective counters, along with a great use of length. Carey was able to eat a few big shots, but after throwing a leg kick, the combat sambo fighter landed the quick left that was the beginning of the end for Carey.
