Usman Nurmagomedov vs. Brent Primus is the main event of Bellator 300, in which the two fight for the lightweight championship belt. Khabib’s cousin is currently in possession of the belt and betting odds suggest he’ll keep it. In fact, some offshore sportsbooks are giving Bellator 300 odds as short as -2300 on Nurmagomedov, suggesting that it’s almost impossible for him to lose on October 7.

Before Betting on Usman Nurmagomedov vs. Brent Primus

Usman Nurmagomedov’s Bellator 300 odds are -2300 at some offshore betting sites, which makes him one of the biggest favorites ever to fight a main event in this MMA promotion. If Brent Primus somehow manages to stage a surprise on October 7, it’s going to be the biggest betting upset in history. So, can he pull it off?

Primus is a 38-year-old veteran who’s got a 12-3 record, and who used to be a Bellator Lightweight Champion in 2017. Unfortunately for him, he lost it in his first title defense.

Speaking of titles, Usman Nurmagomedov is the current champ. He won it in November 2022 after beating Patricky Pitbull, thus becoming the youngest champ in Bellator history. Before that fight, Usman’s detractors were complaining about the Dagestani fighter getting a title shot, accusing the promotion of nepotism. However, Khabib’s brother and Islam Makhachev’s good friend proved everyone wrong.

Actually, he did it twice. After beating Pitbull, he defended his title against Benson Henderson by a first-round submission. Can he do something similar on Saturday?

Brent Primus is a fantastic wrestler/grappler, but he simply isn’t better than Nurmagomedov. Plus, the Dagestani fighter is much better than him when it comes to striking. All that explains why Nurmagomedov is such a huge favorite to win the Bellator 300 main event.
