Magomed Magomedov vs Patrick Mix Prediction: There's no revenge

Prediction for the Bellator Champions Series 2 Magomed Magomedov vs Patrick Mix match which will take place on May 17th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Magomed Magomedov

Magomed Magomedov came to Bellator in 2020 with just one career loss (to Petr Yan in the ASW League). He was seen as a big star overseas and had severe expectations, but something didn't go according to plan. He fought infrequently, alternating wins and losses, and talk of his prospects died down considerably. In his last fight, Magomedov defeated Danny Sabatello by first-round submission.

Patrick Mix

Patrick Mix has a six-fight winning streak, including his first-ever win over Magomed Magomedov and a title fight with Sergio Pettis, where he finished his opponent. Patrick Mix almost always wins early, usually by submission. He is the obvious top contender for Bellator and deservedly starts as the favorite again.

Expert Betting Tips

Little has changed since their first meeting, and the fighters' skills are unlikely to have improved significantly. But they are still finding their form— let's not forget that Magomedov scored an early victory, and Patrick Mix finished his opponents twice. At the same time, the American opposition was more serious.

It will be even more difficult for Magomedov in the rematch - it is unclear which fight plan he should choose and where to look for his luck. His strength is on the ground, but Mix is no worse in that department. As for stand-up, cardio, and everything else, the Russian has no advantage here either.
