Nurmagomedov gave a prediction for the championship fight at UFC 269

Khabib Nurmagomedov, a Russian mixed style fighter (MMA), gave the result of the main fight of the last numbered Absolute Fighting Championship (UFC) tournament of the year in 2021. Reported by MMA Fighting.

The main event of UFC 269 will face American Dustin Poirier and Brazilian Charles Oliveira, who will defend his organization’s lightweight title for the first time. Nurmagomedov believes that the American athlete is able to emerge victorious and take the belt away from Oliveira.

“I would give 60 to 40 for Poirier to win. He has great cardio and personality. Charles is a very dangerous opponent. He’s a real champion. He has nine wins in a row, he beat Ferguson, ”he said.

Oliveira won the vacant UFC belt against Michael Chandler in May. The title was vacated after Nurmagomedov retired from the sport and resigned as champion.

Nurmagomedov is a former UFC champion. He defended the belt three times, being stronger than Conor McGregor, Poirier and Justin Gage.
