On Episode 417 of Morning Kombat the guys have a packed show for you. They start off by recapping Bellator 292. Usman Nurmagomedov easily dispatched Benson Henderson in the first matchup of the Bellator lightweight grand prix. Is it fair to say Nurmagomedov is a top 5 lightweight in the world? Benson Henderson retired following this loss. What's his legacy in MMA? In UFC, Merab Dvalishvili outworked Petr Yan en route to a unanimous decision victory. Is he now the top contender at bantamweight? Plus, in boxing, Tim Tszyu stopped Tony Harrison in the 9th round in Australia to set up a showdown with Jermell Charlo. Based on his performance in this win, did his chances of victory improve?
