UFC Fight Night 217: Preview, prediction, and latest betting odds for Umar Nurmagomedov vs. Raoni Barcelos
We must first analyze the fighters’ past performances in order to predict the outcome of this fight. Starting with Nurmagomedov, who, like his cousin Khabib, has an impeccable record of 15-0 and is in top form. Barcelos, on the other hand, has also a stellar record of 17-3, but it’ll be shocking and upsetting if he wins this bout by ending the Dagestani fighter’s winning run.
UFC Fight Night 217: Umar Nurmagomedov vs Raoni Barcelos- Preview Prediction and latest betting odds
Umar Nurmagomedov, 26, has an edge over him in terms of age because he is nine years younger. However, as you get older, you get experience, and experience is highly valuable, thus the battle might be the “fight of the night,” given how competitive it looks.
While we wait, let’s talk about our prediction of the fight. We’re going with Umar since he has all the qualities a champion needs and is expected to become one in the future.
Not only that, but coming from a wrestling background, he also got the champion gene. And by submission, he destroyed his adversary, which may also be the case here. And Umar is favored by the betting odds as well. Nurmagomedov has been bet up to a -1000 against Raoni Barcelos +650, thus the odds are priced fairly aggressively in his favor.
