It didn’t take too long for the Bellator middleweight champion to defend his title. Gegard Mousasi torched his opponent Austin Vanderford in the main event of Bellator 275. After 85 seconds of the first round, Gegard won the fight via TKO by strikes adding another win in his immaculate resume. The fight took place at the 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland.

After the win, Gegard was poured with praise on Twiter and one name that would stand out is, Khabib Nurmagomedov. The former UFC lightweight champion believes Mousasi has not got his dues paid for his splendid career. “@mousasi_mma is the most underrated fighter in MMA today. Congratulations Gegard #Bellator275“ wrote Nurmagomedov on the internet.

Just like Khabib rates Gegard, the Bellator champion also regards the Dagestani as one of the best to ever do it. The fighter has publicly showered praise for the splendid career of Nurmagomedov and was also hoping that the fighter returns to fighting when he announced retirement in 2020.

“He is definitely one of the greatest. It is difficult to measure, do you measure it with losses or championship fights or scandals? But I would say he is in the top three, for sure. You can put him at 1 or 2 but he is definitely in there,” said Gegard in an interview with The Schmo back in 2020.
