Merab Dvalishvili vs Umar Nurmagomedov Prediction & Betting Tips - UFC 311 - Bantamweight
by Ian John | in UFC Predictions
The co-main event of the night for UFC 311 sees two of the best MMA Bantamweights in history go head to head. Merab “The Machine” Dvalishvili faces off against Umar “Young Eagle” Nurmagomedov in a battle for the UFC Bantamweight World Championship belt. Who will our prediction favour for this match-up between two outstanding combatants?
Dvalishvili comes into the bout having won the title in his previous fight against Sean O’Malley, via a unanimous decision. He has racked up eleven consecutive wins to land the belt and includes victores over Jose Aldo, Cody Stamann, Petr Yan and Henry Cejudo amongst those impressive victories.
The Georgian-American is as tough as they come and has only ever been stopped once in his career, losing via technical submission to Ricky Simon back in April 2018. He is going to need all that resilience and more when he defends his title.
That’s because Umar Nurmagomedov is one of the outstanding stars of the UFC, boasting a perfect 18 win from 18 fights record. He defeated Corey Sandhagen in the eliminator for this title fight back in August 2024.
An outstanding technician, Nurmagomedov is the hot favourite to win the title in this bout, with a technical and tactical fight likely to decide the outcome.
