Umar Nurmagomedov (19-1) has gone 7-1 inside the UFC since 2021 en route to becoming a top bantamweight contender. Having lost his title shot against then-champ Merab Dvalishvili, he bounced back with a win over Mario Bautista and comes into this fight the card’s biggest betting favorite. Nurmagomedov stands 5-foot-8 with a 69-inch reach.
Deiveson Figueiredo (25-5-1) is 14-5-1 throughout his UFC career since 2017. The former champion suffered back-to-back losses against Petr Yan and Cory Sandhagen, but he’s intent on making one last push for UFC gold as he tries to take down the top contender. Figueiredo stands 5-foot-5 with a 68-inch reach.

Why Umar Nurmagomedov Will Win
Last Fight: (W) Mario Bautista – U DEC
Last 5: 4-1
Finishes: 2 KO/TKO, 7 SUB
It’s clear that Umar Nurmagomedov is still behind the pace and wrestling of former champ Merab Dvalishvili, but with Petr Yan now holding the belt and becoming the first to figure Dvalishvili out, Nurmagomedov may have an opening to exact another title opportunity. Figueiredo is past his prime and although he should offer an exciting challenge, there’s a reason Nurmagomedov comes in the -1450 betting favorite. Still, he’s had trouble finishing top opponents and Figueiredo hanging in there could make this an interesting fight.
Nevertheless, Nurmagomedov will have the obvious wrestling advantage here despite all the jiu jitsu experience Figueiredo has accumulated over the years. The pressure style of wrestling taught by Khabib Nurmagomedov is the perfect counter to most Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practitioners, something Khabib and Islam Makhachev have proven repeatedly over the years. Umar should be able to control this fight in smothering fashion if he remains disciplined and diligent with his takedowns.
