Why this card matters
The earliest Usman Nurmagomedov card of any kind, and the only one predating the Panini Contenders PFL era. Panini Instant Bellator was a print-to-order program covering the 2024 Bellator Champions Series: cards were sold through a short ordering window, so the base print run is whatever collectors bought and is not published up front. Numbered colour parallels were offered alongside it.

- Card #6 in the 2024 Panini Instant Bellator numbering
- Panini Instant card stock and layout — event-photo front with the moment described rather than a designed base-set frame
- Panini's own product page slug for the parallel is pi-unurmagomedov-0006-24belinstant-blueviper
- Parallels are colour-named (Blue Viper, White Tiger /5) rather than the Contenders ticket-tier names
Disputed
The card number (#6) and the 2024 set year come from Panini's own product page title and URL slug plus an eBay listing title; it was not possible to load the Panini product page body itself (repeated read timeouts) and there is no published Panini Instant Bellator checklist was reachable. The White Tiger /5 tier is confirmed from a different card in the same set (Mike Shipman #11), not from Usman's card specifically. The moment the card commemorates is unconfirmed — the eBay seller's title says 'Becomes Champion', which would be the November 2022 Patricky Pitbull fight, but the set is a 2024 issue, so the description may be the seller's wording rather than Panini's.
