In a lightweight bout, Usman Nurmagomedov faces Manny Muro Saturday on the main card of Bellator 263 at The Forum in Los Angeles. The card will be televised on Showtime starting at 7 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Bellator 263 Nurmagomedov vs. Muro odds and lines, with picks and predictions.
Nurmagomedov made his company debut at Bellator 255 with a decision victory against Mike Hamel April 2. Overall he has won 12 career professional fights with seven victories via KO/TKO, three finishes by way of submission and only two decisions.
Muro picked up a split-decision win over Nick Newell Oct. 26, 2019 to kick off his second go-around with the company at Bellator 232. He also posted a unanimous-decision win over Devin Powell last time out at Bellator 252 Nov 20.

Bellator 263 Nurmagomedov vs. Muro: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Records: Nurmagomedov 12-0-0 | Muro 12-6-0
Fight result (2-way line or money line)
Muro (+800), a.k.a. “The Dragon”, is looking for the stunning upset. The 34-year-old fighter enters on a three-bout win streak. However, this will easily be Muro’s most difficult opponent to date. Nurmagomedov (-1400) will cost you 14 times your potential return, and you just can’t risk that kind of money for such a small profit.
AVOID, unless you can toss into a parlay of some sort. Personally, I like a parlay of Nurmagomedov and ISLAM MAMEDOV (-200). If you bet those two favorites together, the PARLAY (-158) will net a return of $63.64 on a bet of $100.
