There were rumors swirling for over a year about a possible superfight between reigning UFC lightweight winner KhabibThe Eagle Nurmagomedov??and arguably the greatest of all time, GeorgesRush St-Pierre. Even though Khabib is most probably going to fight No. 1 contender Tony Ferguson second, though he gets through that challenge, GSP may be in the near future.
These rumors seem to be coming to a head and online sportsbook BetOnline has released odds for this bout Nurmagomedov, with the current champ, coming from as a sizable -400 favored and the champcoming back in +300.
This line doesnt make any sense. Yes, Nurmagomedov has turned into a significant favorite in each of the last 10 fights with an normal line of -412.5, so makes sense. He will compete against a few of their best in Georges St-Pierre, that hasnt suffered a loss since 2007. In his appearance, he won the middleweight title, and he is now fighting ! GSP has never been an underdog since he had been a +115 dog a bout that he obtained via knockout, in a rematch in 2006 with Matt Hughes at UFC 65.
The primary strike of nurmagomedov is his grappling when??he puts his hands drags them and then smashes them. The Russia native features pound and a competitive floor or can take advantage of a submission if it arises. His remarkable proceeds to improve, but several times have been hurt in exchanges that are remarkable. The Eagle has exceptional conditioning that enables him crush his foes and to draw the battle to the canvas in the struggle.
As the Canadian he also is a excellent wrestler but has striking for. Rush was the welterweight champion for six decades, defending the belt 10 times, prior to taking four decades away and??returning to win the middleweight belt. He has a tremendous jab that puts up thicker strikes or his double-leg takedown and he averages??4.16 takedowns a 15 minutes.
GSP will be 39 in May 2020, which could be a small concern as 32 doesnt turn till September. Age aside, however,??the only struggle in which??Nurmagomedov was shot down more than his rival was from Gleison Tibau in 2012 in a success. If it stays a striking match, the edge must visit St-Pierre, but itll be quite interesting to determine if his wrestling ability can be imposed by one over another.
