As part of one of the events of the UFC 270 tournament, Cody Stamann and Said Nurmagomedov will come face to face. In a face-to-face meeting, the rivals will play for the championship belt. Our sports portal gives a forecast for this battle.
Cody Stamann (USA)
Cody held 19 meetings, and in 15 of them he was able to celebrate the victory. The UFC fighter has been performing in the elite since 2017, and has already managed to light up for the octagon repeatedly. In 2020, he won on Kelleher, but after that he suffered 2 defeats by unanimous decision from Rivera and Dvalishvili. It is worth noting that most of the meetings with his participation reach a decision. Stamann owns Brazilian jiu-jitsu and has a blue belt in this discipline. Despite all his advantages, he is a basic wrestler and in fact never wins by submission.
Said Nurmagomedov (Russia)
Said has 17 professional fights behind his back, and was able to achieve success in 15 of them. 2019 was completed unsuccessfully for him, because Nurmagomedov was defeated in a meeting with Barcelos. Nurmagomedov managed to rehabilitate himself, but the following year, when he knocked out Striegl. It is worth noting that the athlete had a long break, and it is far from a fact that he is now in his best shape. The Russian is considered a versatile fighter, capable of fighting not only in the stalls, but also in a stand, holding the opponent's legs.
Forecast
Nurmagomedov has not been seen in the octagon for more than a year. I don't think he's in good shape, but Cody's not the same anymore. It is stylistically inconvenient for a Russian. Our bet in this match will be in favor of Stamann.
