Jared Gooden – Abubakar Nurmagomedov. Forecast and announcement for the fight

UFC 260 tournament bout

The fight will take place on Sunday, March 28. Estimated start of the battle is 02:40 Kyiv time. The fight will be broadcast live on Setanta Sports.

The UFC has something special in store for its fans this Sunday. In Las Vegas, Nevada, the promotion will host the UFC 260 PPV tournament at its home UFC Apex, which will feature a massive heavyweight title rematch between Stipe Miocic and Francis Ngannou.

In one of the welterweight prelim fights, Jared Gooden will fight against Abubakar Nurmagomedov, the cousin of Khabib Nurmagomedov.

Gooden only joined the UFC in the second half of 2020 and hasn’t made a name for himself before. He made his debut in the promotion in November at UFC 255, losing to Alan Juban by unanimous decision.

Nurmagomedov has a similar record in the UFC. In November 2019, he made his debut in the UFC with the fact that he blundered in front of his native Moscow audience, losing in less than three minutes by a triangle to David Zavada. Since then, Abubakar, who has a 6-1-1 PFL/WSOF record, hasn’t made the cage.

Prediction for the fight

Gooden is a versatile fighter who leans more towards the shock component, defending well from takedowns. Nurmagomedov is also a versatile stand-up fighter.

Guden, due to his kickboxing, can interrupt the Russian in the standing position, while the native of wrestling and sambo Nurmagomedov has a tangible advantage on the ground, despite the fact that in his last four fights he lost twice by submission. Whose plan works, he will win. We think that the “rust” of a native of Dagestan can become a key factor.

Gooden win on points
