Undisputed Bellator MMA lightweight champion, Usman Nurmagomedov has been slapped with a six-month suspension by the California State Athletic Commission, after the Russian failed a drug test after his fight with former titleholder, Brent Primus at Bellator 300 at the beginning of last month in San Diego, California.
Nurmagomedov, who landed a one-sided unanimous decision win over Primus, has now seen his victory over the former overturned to an official ‘No Contest’ per an initial report from Cole Shelton, and may further be stripped of the lightweight championship.
