brazilian fighter Patrick Freire admitted that he considered a Russian Usman Nurmagomedov one of the hot favorites for the upcoming Bellator Lightweight Grand Prix.
Nurmagomedov won the championship belt in November 2022 by beating Freire by decision. As of now, Usman, 24, is undefeated in 16 professional fights.
“It will be one of the best lightweight tournaments, there are no easy fights. I would qualify, Usman Nurmagomedov and Mansour Barnawi as tournament favourites.
The only fight in which it is difficult to choose a winner is Alexander Shabliy against Tofik Musaev. It will be a real fireworks display. Undoubtedly the best fight of the ¼ finals, quotes Freire sherdog .
