Magomedsharipov started off hot, knocking down Quiroz in the first round to put him on notice. In round two, he once again leveled his foe before ultimately taking his back and laying down some ground-and-pound to score a second round finish.

With the win, Magomedsharipov improves to 6-0 and puts the Featherweight division on notice, letting them know there is a new contender in town. After barely breaking a sweat in an explosive Bellator debut, he could be in line for a quick turnaround if the opportunity presents itself.
