Why is Usman Nurmagomedov not in the UFC ?

Like the original Nurmagomedov , Usman is also from Dagestan, dominating in the Belator atm , with 17-0 score , so why is Dana and co. not brining him into UFC ?

He's locked up in a deal with Bellator given that he's their champion, UFC just can't go out and "get him" lol.

I would have thought that Usman being Bellator champ and having to defend a couple of time would just give it away as why he's not in the UFC.

we already have enough of those

UFC already has two Nurmagomedovs and a Makhashev, that is enough

They decided to go the Bellator route because they already have Islam as the LW in the UFC and they thought he was better off developing in Bellator. He'll probably come over at some point.

Because his beard is lacking ..

he signed a contract not with the UFC.....

When Islam done with LW, it will be usman’s turn. When Usman is done, it will be Khabib’s son turn.

He's ok but Nurmagomadomacomakarmachameleon is the future of the division. Keep an eye on him, he comes and goes.

The real question is: who is that fat fuck in your AV?

 

[Jawth]

He is developing/record padding in Bellator and he is probably making good money there.

Primus will be an interesting fight even though Usman is a big favorite.

Hmmm, TS wants to talk about some Bellator dude --

so he puts "UFC" in the title to post it in UFC Discussion, instead of the Worldwide...

Right. We don't need any more Johnsons, Silvas or Gracies. One is more than enough.

 

[sonhow]

Because he is in Bellator???????
