Usman Nurmagomedov vs Brent Primus Prediction: It's unclear what scenario the fight will follow

Prediction for the Bellator 300 Usman Nurmagomedov vs Brent Primus match which will take place on October 8th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Usman Nurmagomedov

Usman Nurmagomedov arrived in Bellator in 2021 and began to take out everyone he was given without hesitation. There was talk last year that he had yet to earn a title shot, but Usman silenced everyone by giving reigning champion Patricky Freire an MMA lesson.

In his most recent fight, Nurmagomedov finished Ben Henderson in minutes, knocking him down with a stunning high kick, then taking his back and choking him out.

Brent Primus

Brent Primus is a 38-year-old but not the most experienced fighter, having only fifteen fights in professional MMA. Once, he was even the champion of the promotion. During his career, the opponents he faced were no match for Usman, except for Michael Chandler, Islam Mamedov, and Alexander Shabliy, all of whom he lost to. It's true that with Chandler, the record with Primus is 1:1, but that sensational win that Brent got back in 2017 was due to the fight being stopped by a doctor.

Primus has lost twice in his last four fights and only got the miraculous right to fight for the belt because of the Grand Prix. In the quarterfinals, he won a decision over Mansour Barnaoui (20-6, 1-2 Bellator record).

Nobody believes in Primus but himself and his teammates. But that doesn't stop him from dreaming of the impossible.

Expert Betting Tips

Let's not compare the fighting skills of Nurmagomedov and Primus. The American cannot fight in a guard if he wants to live in the cage for at least a few minutes (his standup is not very good). But he can't go to the parterre either. His chances of surviving there aren't much better. So, it's unclear what scenario the fight will follow.
