Main Card Best Bets
Arman Tsarukyan vs Mateusz Gamrot – Fight to go the distance – No (-125)
Arman Tsarukyan is a huge favorite in this fight, but Mateusz Gamrot has won 3 UFC fights in a row and has been too strong overall to count out of this fight. They both have elite grappling and both have 12 wins by finish in their careers, including 2 in a row for Tsarukyun and 3 in a row for Gamrot. This should be a fast-paced fight, so backing this fight to end inside the distance will be the play.
