Undefeated fighters, fighting this weekend. Knutsson withdrew but the rest are on. The card looks very promising and should be a good night of fights. Nurmagomedov and Mokaev particularly looking very good and probably going to add another win under their name.

Wait, so Nurmagomedov was meant to be fighting Sandhagen (ranked in the top 5 back then) in mid 2023 but he had to pulled out to to an injury, and now he's match-up against a completely unknown fighter who is having his UFC debut? Almakhan record looks impressive at first with 17-1 but he hasn't fought anyone with recognisable name in his career. Looks like he's more of a striker, so Umar will probably be mopping the floor with him. Odds confirm that with x1.07 for Umar.
It's clear as a day that UFC wants to make him a new star and give him an easy fight after the injury to make sure he puts another win to his record.

Umar Nurmagomedov vs Bekzat Almakhan will be the main card for the Batam class, looking at Umar Nurmagomedov he is truly unbeatable with 16 wins in 16 fights overall.
But it is true that Bekzat Almakhan is also strong fighter 17 wins and 1 losse , it just that here there seem to be many people who are much more dominant making Umar Nurmagomedov the favorite.
I know he is Russian fighter who has quite strong body and could have an advantage in punching power, this could make it easier to put pressure on Bekzat Almakhan.
It looks like I will also make Umar Nurmagomedov the favorite to win this fight.
