Undefeated Bahraini MMA star Rasul Magomedov delivered another dominant performance at BRAVE CF 87, securing a first-round victory over Brazilian veteran Pablo Benaion in the Netherlands.

Magomedov wasted no time, controlling the fight from the outset and landing powerful elbows that forced the referee to stop the bout. The win extended Magomedov's unbeaten record and established him as a rising contender in the Light Heavyweight division.

The former top-ranked Heavyweight in the amateur circuit, Magomedov boasts multiple IMMAF medals and has been unstoppable since turning professional. He debuted at BRAVE CF 72 with a victory over Mohamed Hisham Baraka, followed by another first-round win at BRAVE CF 79 against Mohamed Laid. With his latest victory, Magomedov improved to 6-0 in professional MMA.

BRAVE Combat Federation president Mohammed Shahid praised Magomedov's rise. "Rasul Magomedov has proved to be one of the best Light Heavyweights in the world with that performance," Shahid said. "He's a wrestling and combat sambo monster, an IMMAF Heavyweight world champion, and now undefeated as a professional at 205."
