Usman Nurmagomedov vs Christopher Gonzalez Prediction: Betting on Khabib's Brother

On the night of July 23, the Bellator 283 mixed martial arts tournament will take place in Washington, D.C. In one of the main card fights, Usman Nurmagomedov, the undefeated Russian fighter and cousin of everybody knows who, will share the cage with Christopher Gonzalez of the United States.

The story when Usman ran over a policeman with his car was resolved by itself, and he started winning the octagon again safely. He is doing well, Usman is one of the few Russian fighters who can be called a fighter without weaknesses.

He fights really standing, he has very good punching technique (which is not typical for Nurmagomedovs' clan fighters) and there's nothing to talk about in terms of wrestling. Many experts even believe that Usman looks stronger than Khabib at this stage of his career.

The American has spent his entire career in Bellator and suffered only one defeat. There is an opinion that this fighter is very tough and dangerous even for Usman. Usman treats him with respect, although he probably says it out of modesty.

Gonzalez is a very good fighter. After my fight at Bellator 269 I asked the management of the promotion to find me a strong opponent. The most important thing I'm looking forward to is getting more experience out of this fight. I'm not looking to attract more fans and hype. Those are not my priorities. I'm looking forward to showcasing my skills to prove to everyone that I'm one of the best fighters.

In his last fight, Chris Gonzalez finished Saad Awad in the thirtieth second of the bout.

With the winner of this fight, we think, everything is clear. The intrigue is whether Usman will be able to finish the fight early. There is an opinion that he can do it - Khabib's brother knocked out the guys are stronger. Now he is motivated just beyond the limit, in case of a bright victory he is promised a challenger fight in the league.
