News PFL finalist Abus Magomedov will fight at KSW 57

Of all the MWs that PFL season I thought Abus had the most upside (Taylor was old af even when he won, and I think Abus had a higher ceiling overall), I was surprised when Taylor caught him. Dangerous opponent but from what little I've seen of Kesik have to go with Abus, he seemed a step behind on the feet and had to work hard for takedowns against Ilic. Magomedov's kicking game is similar to Ilic's and his ground skills are significantly better.

Two more guys I've thought bellator should snatch up to improve MW. Particularly Kesik before he becomes valuable to KSW among their domestic audience.
 
About time Abu returned to the scene he's been doing nothing for 2 years since leaving PFL.
 
Quite enjoyed this fight and Abus looked very smooth. Bellator needs to sign this guy yesterday if KSW doesn't have him locked down, either Bellator or the UFC would be foolish to pass on him if he's available.
