Islam Mamedov vs Killys Mota Prediction: Mota's willingness to die in the cage

Prediction for the Bellator 301 Islam Mamedov vs Killys Mota match which will take place on November 18th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Islam Mamedov

The former world champion in combat sambo, Islam Mamedov, came to Bellator from the PFL in 2021 and has already had four fights here (two losses and two wins). The result could look better, but it is worth understanding that he had a powerful opponent, so he lost to Ben Henderson by a separate judicial decision, and Sidney Outlaw also on points.

Killys Mota

Killys Mota has been contending in Bellator for four years, but things didn't go well at first. The Brazilian lost two fights in a row. Many still disputed one of these defeats, believing that Derek Anderson knocked out Mota with an illegitimate kick (a kick to the head when the competitor was on three points). The judges did not see the violation, and Killys refused to continue the fight and defiantly pretended to be injured. 

Expert Betting Tips

Islam Mamedov does not have a reputation as a breathtaking fighter, but he does not need this. Only this time, his pragmatic practice can play a cruel joke on him - his new opponent is the same. If you watch Islam's previous fight, you can see no passion in his eyes anymore, as if he is tired of fighting. But the Brazilian has perhaps reached his best form, and even if he is inferior to the Russian in terms of skill, he may well win due to patience and willingness to die in the cage.
