Bellator continues to expand its roster by signing more and more fighters every day. According to Ariel Helwani, Tofiq Musayev is promotion’s newest acquisition.
The Azerbaijan-born fighter has an 18 – 4 professional record and is best known for his stint in RIZIN, where he was unbeaten till last June when he fought Roberto de Souza for the then-vacant lightweight championship belt. Satoshi, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt submitted Musayev by a triangle choke in the very first round.
The aforementioned title fight loss put an end to Musayev’s 14 fight winning streak, including six bouts in Rizin.
