Bellator MMA lightweight prospect Usman
Nurmagomedov has been taken into custody for reportedly running
a police officer over at an airport in Russia.
Early Thursday morning, Rusen
Press posted a document that included a potential mugshot for
Nurmagomedov and a friend, while noting that he had been detained
under suspicion of “crushing a police officer.” Russian outlet
TASS then reported
that Nurmagomedov and friend Kamal
Idrisov had indeed been arrested at the Kaspiysk airport.
Per the press office of a department of the Russian Interior
Ministry, “They are suspected of running over a policeman with a
car at the checkpoint of Kaspiysk Airport.”
According to the report, two men in a Toyota Camry with tinted
windows and no license plates were requested to stop for an airport
checkpoint at 11:30 a.m. locally. The driver, who was not
identified, did not stop, and instead ran over a security barrier
and a police officer, injuring the officer. A criminal case has
been opened by the Russian Investigation Committee on the
matter.
Bellator has since provided a statement about the allegations to
multiple
outlets.
“The promotion has been made aware of a situation involving
Usman
Nurmagomedov and is in the process of gathering information. We
will have no further comment at this time,” the brief statement
wrote.
An unbeaten fighter at 14-0, including a trio of victories under
the Bellator banner, Nurmagomedov last appeared at Bellator 269 in
October. In front of a home crowd, the 23-year-old cousin of
Khabib
Nurmagomedov throttled Patrik
Pietila with a rear-naked choke in the opening frame. As a
professional, Nurmagomedov holds a finish rate of 86%, with
stoppages in seven of his last eight outings.
