Bellator San Diego video: Usman Nurmagomedov, Alexander Shabliy face off for title fight

The stage is finally set for [autotag]Usman Nurmagomedov[/autotag] and [autotag]Alexander Shabliy[/autotag] to clash for the Bellator lightweight title following their final faceoff at Friday's ceremonial weigh-ins.

Nurmagomedov (17-0) and Shabliy (24-3) will meet in the main event of Bellator Champions Series: San Diego on Saturday at Pechanga Arena (Max) in what was labeled the final of the lightweight grand prix. PFL purchased Bellator, however, and now it is merely for Nurmagomedov's 155-pound strap.

After both men made weight earlier in the day, the pair came face-to-face for a staredown between arguably the two best lightweights outside the UFC.

Watch the video above to see the Nurmagomedov vs. Shabliy faceoff from ceremonial weigh-ins.
