Cody Stamann vs. Said Nurmagomedov
Cody vs. Said will make for an exciting matchup. Cody has finished eight of his 24 fights and is comfortable on his feet and the ground. He is a blue belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and also was a boxer in high school.
Said Nurmagomedov hails from Dagestan, where the former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov also comes from. Nurmagomedov is also comfortable on his feet and the ground. Being from Dagestan, wrestling comes to him naturally, but surprisingly, he has won four fights via knockouts.
UFC 270 is turning up to be a card that fans just can’t afford to miss. UFC Heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou is slated to defend his title against the interim champion Ciryl Gane. Ngannou and Gane are former training partners, and their opposite fighting styles will make for a great matchup.
The new fan favorite, Derek Brunson, will also enter the octagon against Jared Cannonier. With Robert Whittaker being tipped to face Israel Adesanya for the UFC Middleweight title, this fight will definitely be a number one contender’s fight.
UFC 270 will be an excellent start for UFC in the new year, and Cody and Said will look to impress in their fight and raise their stock value.
