Undefeated featherweight, Khasan Magomedsharipov, has signed with Bellator MMA recently. The Russian featherweight fighter is the brother of UFC star, Zabit Magomedsharipov. After fighting in regional promotions for a considerable amount of time, the younger Magomedsharipov is headed for the big leagues to make a name for himself. Khasan trains with his brother, Zabit, and his coaches, Mark Henry, and more UFC troops. He has a record of 5-0 in his professional MMA career and is just as promising and dynamic as his superstar brother, who is considered to be one of the best featherweight fighters in the world. The signing of Khasan by Bellator MMA was initially reported by MMAJunkie [https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/2021/02/mma-news-bellator-signs-khasan-magomedsharipov-zabit-brother]. Khasan put the MMA world on notice when he finished his opponent in September 2020 via a Twister submission, one of the rarest moves executed in an MMA fight. He has certainly grabbed eyeballs with his spectacular performances inside the cage, and Bellator MMA is giving him a chance to showcase his ability on a bigger platform. The younger Magomedsharipov has 4 finishes out of his 5 wins, with 3 coming by the way of submission and 1 by T/KO. At 20, he already looks like a world-beater and one can only hope he realizes the potential he has been showing so far. It remains to be seen if Khasan can live up to Zabit. However, the MMA world has certainly gotten yet another pair of brothers who could very well take over the sport for good. Bellator kicks off its 2021 schedule in April, and Khasan will look to get in the action as soon as possible. His brother, ‘ZaBeast’ will hope to do the same in the UFC. WHEN WILL ZABIT MAGOMEDSHARIPOV FIGHT AGAIN? The 29-year-old Zabit [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/zabit-magomedsharipov/] hasn’t competed since 2019 after defeating Calvin Kattar in Moscow. He is still undefeated in the UFC, racking up 6 wins. But, inactivity has started to kill his hype. He needs to get back on the horse and start competing to keep up his run for the UFC gold. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/zabit-magomedsharipov-calvin-kattar.jpg]https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/zabit-magomedsharipov-calvin-kattar.jpg A possible fight against Yair Rodriguez or a no. 1 contender battle against former featherweight champion, Max Holloway [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/max-holloway/], can be very enticing for Magomedsharipov. Fans will love every bit of those fights for sure. Who would you like to see Zabit Magomedsharipov fight when he makes his UFC return? 

Khasan Magomedsharipov, brother of UFC star, Zabit Magomedsharipov, has signed
with Bellator MMA and will fight at featherweight.

<h2 style="text-align: center;">History</h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Bellator MMA is one of the world's largest mixed martial arts promotions and is recognised as the closest competitor to the UFC. The term Bellator has its origin in Latin language which translates to 'warrior' in English.</span>

Bjorn Rebney founded the company in 2008 and ran it until 2014, before departing and handing the reins to Scott Coker. <span style="font-weight: 400;">Presently, the company has successfully hosted 242 numbered events. </span>
<h2><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-257245" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200425201918/cokr.jpg" alt="Scott Coker" width="1200" height="675" /></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">The former Strikeforce executive made the move after his contract with Zuffa expired. Following Coker’s arrival, Bellator MMA pivoted to a more traditional North American approach to the sport. This is a </span><a href="https://www.si.com/mma/2014/09/04/scott-coker-bellator-format-changing"><span style="font-weight: 400;">departure</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> from the organization's tournament format during its initial phase. </span>
<h2>Bellator's tournament format</h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Bellator MMA has played host to a variety of tournaments under its older format, with 11 seasons of Bellator Fighting Championship held in 4 years from 2009 to 2014. The tournaments saw fighters of specific weight classes compete for a shot at the divisional title. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Also in 2013, the promotion aired a single-season series called </span><a href="https://www.mmafighting.com/2013/4/23/4257460/bellator-books-june-19-summer-series-start-with-king-mo-reality-show"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fight Master: Bellator MMA</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> where Randy Couture, Frank Shamrock, Greg Jackson, and Joe Warren served as coaches. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Like all American martial arts organizations, the rules for fights in the Bellator promotion are exactly the same with eye gouges and groin strikes deemed as illegal offenses for which fighters can incur point penalties or be disqualified. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Along with MMA, Bellator has a kickboxing promotion which has hosted 12 events since its </span><a href="http://www.bellator.com/articles/43lpt8/scott-coker-launches-bellator-kickboxing"><span style="font-weight: 400;">inception</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in 2016.</span>
<h2>Some big names who are part of Bellator MMA</h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">At present, the company is home to some of the biggest MMA names including former UFC Champions like Cris Cyborg, Frank Mir, and Lyoto Machida. Current Bellator Champions include Ryan Bader, Douglas Lima, Patricio Freire, and Ilima-Lei Macfarlane. Additionally, the promotion is home to big names such as Fedor Emelianenko, Gegard Mousasi, and Cat Zingano.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Currently, there are 7 divisions for male fighters in Bellator. These are heavyweight, light heavyweight, middleweight, welterweight, lightweight, featherweight and bantamweight. The promotion offers 2 divisions for its female talent at Featherweight and flyweight. </span>
<h2><b>List of Champions at Bellator MMA</b></h2>

<p class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Max Holloway 2024: Record, Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</strong></p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Who is Max Holloway?</h2>
Max Holloway is a former UFC featherweight champion and currently the #2 ranked fighter (as of April 2024) in the 145 lbs division. Following in the footsteps of the likes of BJ Penn, Holloway has represented Hawaii exceptionally well on the global MMA stage and was already a divisional legend before he was 30 years old. He turned professional in 2010 and was in the UFC in 2012 at just 20 years of age. He was the youngest fighter on the UFC roster at the time. Currently, he's the 4th youngest fighter the UFC has ever signed.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Max Holloway's early life</h2>
Growing up, Max Holloway had an absent father and a mother who had taken drugs. In an interview he gave to <a href="https://theberrics.com/born-to-fight-max-holloway-and-how-he-got-here" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Berrics</a>, the 32-year-old admitted he was essentially raised by his grandparents. These factors were a huge motivation for him to find success in life, and to be a better parent to his son.

Holloway took up kickboxing when he was in 10th grade after his friend's coach took notice of him hitting the speed bag. When he was 16, his coach offered Holloway a fight at a local event after the original candidate dropped out. Holloway took the fight to save the $35 he was going to spend on the ticket to the same event.

(Photo by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC/Zuffa LLC)[/caption]

Holloway recalled how K1 kickboxing in Japan was all the rage at the time. Two years later, the BJ Penn era of the UFC caught his eye. His compatriot's achievements and financial success from MMA pushed young Max to decide he wanted it for himself.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Max Holloway's wife and son</h2>
Max Holloway married his first wife, Kaimana Pa'aluhi, a model and actress, in 2014 and divorced in 2017. He has a son with her - Rush Holloway. The story of his birth is closely tied to Max's success. Rush was born the same night Holloway received his UFC contract. A few hours after he signed and sent back his first-ever UFC deal, he was holding 'Mini Blessed' in his hands.

<img class="size-medium wp-image-2044380 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Max-Holloway-with-wife-560x315.png" alt="" width="560" height="315" />

In 2020, he began dating <strong>Alessa Quizon</strong> whom he married in 2022. She is a distinguished surfer who has competed in various top-tier surfing contests around the world which include the Fijian Womenâ€™s Pro Surfing Championship and West Australian Margaret Pro Surfing Championship.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Max Holloway's net worth 2024</h2>
As of 2024, Max Holloway has a net worth of an estimated $6 million. Holloway made a mere $6,000 base salary in his first UFC fight. He earned a massive amount of money in the UFC later. To date, he has earned around $6,000,000 over his career, according to multiple sources. He has earned his highest payday ($1,050,000) against Ortega at UFC 231. His last paycheck, for his fight against 'The Korean Zombie' was reportedly $400K (base salary).
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Max Holloway's career timeline</h2>
He started his UFC career with a loss against <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/dustin-poirier/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Dustin Poirier</a> at UFC 143. He then won three straight in 2012 before losing to Dennis Bermudez and future double champion <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/conor-mcgregor/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Conor McGregor</a>, in 2013. After a few losses in his early career, Holloway did not look back and started his climb to the top. He went on an impressive 13-fight win streak following his loss to McGregor.

After racking up nine consecutive wins in the featherweight division, Holloway finally fought for UFC gold. However, it was for an interim championship against <strong>Anthony Pettis</strong>. 'Blessed' Holloway won the match by stopping Pettis in the third round.

He then foughtÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jose-aldo/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Jose Aldo</a> in a title unification bout. Holloway stopped Aldo in two back-to-back fights in 2017, unifying the belt in the first and then defending it for the first time in the second. Then after three canceled bouts in 2018, Holloway made his second title defense against <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/brian-ortega/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Brian Ortega</a> in December 2018. He tried to capture a second belt at lightweight in 2019, but Dustin Poirier got the better of him again, at UFC 236. Shortly after, he returned to featherweight to fight <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/frankie-edgar/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Frankie Edgar</a>.

After defeating Edgar and defending his title for the third time, Holloway fought <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/alexander-volkanovski/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Alexander Volkanovski</a> at UFC 245. Unfortunately, he lost the bout via a unanimous decision. 'Blessed' tried to recapture his belt, but he came up short at UFC 251 in a razor-thin bout.

<img class="size-medium wp-image-1678288 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/WhatsApp-Image-2023-04-16-at-09.19.52-461x315.jpeg" alt="" width="461" height="315" />

His next outing was against <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/calvin-kattar/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Calvin Kattar</a> in January 2021 and he won the lopsided fight via a unanimous decision. He then beat <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/yair-rodriguez/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Yair Rodriguez</a> in November 2021, yet again via a unanimous decision. In his only fight in 2022, Holloway tried to retake the belt from Volkanovski in a trilogy bout at UFC 276. Once again, the Australian bested 'Blessed' (unanimous decision) in what was the most convincing win for the champion in their trilogy.

In 2023, Holloway bounced back with two big wins. One was a unanimous decision win over rising prospect Arnold Allen. The second was a walk-off KO of divisional legend Chan Sung Jung. Holloway's MMA record currently stands at 25-7, with a UFC record of 21-7.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Max Holloway's partnerships and endorsements</h2>
Holloway has an <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.sportingfree.com/athletes/max-holloway-net-worth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">endorsement</a> deal with Reebok, Manscaped, and Budweiser. Holloway also has a YouTube channel named "BlessedMMA".
<h2 style="text-align: center">Max Holloway's career stats and records</h2>
Max Holloway is an elite striker with an unending gas tank. Besides that, the Hawaiian puts on a pace that is difficult to match.

Holloway is also known for landing an ungodly amount of strikes. He holds theÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="http://statleaders.ufc.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">record</a>Â for landing the most significant strikes in the entire UFC. Furthermore, Holloway alsoÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="http://statleaders.ufc.com/en/fight-comb" target="_blank" rel="noopener">holds</a> the top three positions for having landed the most significant strikes in a single UFC fight against Calvin Kattar, Brian Ortega, and Dustin Poirier.

Holloway also boasts an impeccable takedown defense with 84%. The 32-year-old is extremely difficult to take down, even for experienced wrestlers like Frankie Edgar. Even if someone takes him down, Holloway springs right back up. He also has a 53% takedown accuracy landing 4 of 15 attempted takedowns.

'Blessed' holds a stellar record of <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Max-Holloway-38671" target="_blank" rel="noopener">25-7-0</a> in his MMA career.

Max Holloway

Max Holloway 2024: Record, Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements Who is Max Holloway? Max Holloway is a former UFC featherweight champion and currently the #2 ranked fighter (as of April 2024) in the 145 lbs division. Following in the footsteps of the likes of BJ Penn, Holloway has represented Hawaii exceptionally well on the global MMA stage and was already a divisional legend before he was 30 years old. He turned professional in 2010 and was in the UFC in 2012 at just 20 years of age. He was the youngest fighter on the UFC roster at the time. Currently, he&#8217;s the 4th youngest fighter the UFC has ever signed. Max Holloway&#8217;s early life Growing up, Max Holloway had an absent father and a mother who had taken drugs. In an interview he gave to Berrics, the 32-year-old admitted he was essentially raised by his grandparents. These factors were a huge motivation for him to find success in life, and to be a better parent to his son. Holloway took up kickboxing when he was in 10th grade after his friend&#8217;s coach took notice of him hitting the speed bag. When he was 16, his coach offered Holloway a fight at a local event after the original candidate dropped out. Holloway took the fight to save the $35 he was going to spend on the ticket to the same event. EDMONTON, ALBERTA &#8211; JULY 27: Max Holloway celebrates after defeating Frankie Edgar in their UFC featherweight championship bout during the UFC 240 event at Rogers Place on July 27, 2019 in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. (Photo by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC/Zuffa LLC) Holloway recalled how K1 kickboxing in Japan was all the rage at the time. Two years later, the BJ Penn era of the UFC caught his eye. His compatriot&#8217;s achievements and financial success from MMA pushed young Max to decide he wanted it for himself. Max Holloway&#8217;s wife and son Max Holloway married his first wife, Kaimana Pa&#8217;aluhi, a model and actress, in 2014 and divorced in 2017. He has a son with her &#8211; Rush Holloway. The story of his birth is closely tied to Max&#8217;s success. Rush was born the same night Holloway received his UFC contract. A few hours after he signed and sent back his first-ever UFC deal, he was holding &#8216;Mini Blessed&#8217; in his hands. In 2020, he began dating Alessa Quizon whom he married in 2022. She is a distinguished surfer who has competed in various top-tier surfing contests around the world which include the Fijian Womenâ€™s Pro Surfing Championship and West Australian Margaret Pro Surfing Championship. Max Holloway&#8217;s net worth 2024 As of 2024, Max Holloway has a net worth of an estimated $6 million. Holloway made a mere $6,000 base salary in his first UFC fight. He earned a massive amount of money in the UFC later. To date, he has earned around $6,000,000 over his career, according to multiple sources. He has earned his highest payday ($1,050,000) against Ortega at UFC 231. His last paycheck, for his fight against &#8216;The Korean Zombie&#8217; was reportedly $400K (base salary). Max Holloway&#8217;s career timeline He started his UFC career with a loss against Dustin Poirier at UFC 143. He then won three straight in 2012 before losing to Dennis Bermudez and future double champion Conor McGregor, in 2013. After a few losses in his early career, Holloway did not look back and started his climb to the top. He went on an impressive 13-fight win streak following his loss to McGregor. After racking up nine consecutive wins in the featherweight division, Holloway finally fought for UFC gold. However, it was for an interim championship against Anthony Pettis. &#8216;Blessed&#8217; Holloway won the match by stopping Pettis in the third round. He then foughtÂ Jose Aldo in a title unification bout. Holloway stopped Aldo in two back-to-back fights in 2017, unifying the belt in the first and then defending it for the first time in the second. Then after three canceled bouts in 2018, Holloway made his second title defense against Brian Ortega in December 2018. He tried to capture a second belt at lightweight in 2019, but Dustin Poirier got the better of him again, at UFC 236. Shortly after, he returned to featherweight to fight Frankie Edgar. After defeating Edgar and defending his title for the third time, Holloway fought Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 245. Unfortunately, he lost the bout via a unanimous decision. &#8216;Blessed&#8217; tried to recapture his belt, but he came up short at UFC 251 in a razor-thin bout. His next outing was against Calvin Kattar in January 2021 and he won the lopsided fight via a unanimous decision. He then beat Yair Rodriguez in November 2021, yet again via a unanimous decision. In his only fight in 2022, Holloway tried to retake the belt from Volkanovski in a trilogy bout at UFC 276. Once again, the Australian bested &#8216;Blessed&#8217; (unanimous decision) in what was the most convincing win for the champion in their trilogy. In 2023, Holloway bounced back with two big wins. One was a unanimous decision win over rising prospect Arnold Allen. The second was a walk-off KO of divisional legend Chan Sung Jung. Holloway&#8217;s MMA record currently stands at 25-7, with a UFC record of 21-7. Max Holloway&#8217;s partnerships and endorsements Holloway has an endorsement deal with Reebok, Manscaped, and Budweiser. Holloway also has a YouTube channel named &#8220;BlessedMMA&#8221;. Max Holloway&#8217;s career stats and records Max Holloway is an elite striker with an unending gas tank. Besides that, the Hawaiian puts on a pace that is difficult to match. Holloway is also known for landing an ungodly amount of strikes. He holds theÂ recordÂ for landing the most significant strikes in the entire UFC. Furthermore, Holloway alsoÂ holds the top three positions for having landed the most significant strikes in a single UFC fight against Calvin Kattar, Brian Ortega, and Dustin Poirier. He has an impressive 7.17 significant strikes landed per minute against 4.75 absorbed ones. He also has a 48% striking accuracy, landing 3,197 out of 6,714 attempted strikes, with a 60% significant strike defense. Holloway also boasts an impeccable takedown defense with 84%. The 32-year-old is extremely difficult to take down, even for experienced wrestlers like Frankie Edgar. Even if someone takes him down, Holloway springs right back up. He also has a 53% takedown accuracy landing 4 of 15 attempted takedowns. &#8216;Blessed&#8217; holds a stellar record of 25-7-0 in his MMA career. The former featherweight champion has won six &#8216;Fight of the Night&#8217;, four &#8216;Performance of the Night,&#8217; and one &#8216;Knockout of the Night&#8217; bonuses in UFC. He also received the 2017 Fighter of the Year award by RealSport.
