UFC Fight Night: Tsarukyan vs Gamrot Best Bets
Backing the underdogs failed to pay dividends for us last weekend at UFC Fight Night: Kattar vs Emmett, with our four bets in play coming up short. However, we are poised to return to our winning ways with this weekend’s best bets.
Main Event Odds & Pick
| Fighter | Odds |
|---|---|
| Arman Tsarukyan | -300 |
| Mateusz Gamrot | +220 |
Winning streaks and a chance to crack the top 10 in the UFC rankings are on the line in Saturday night’s main event. Arman Tsarukyan (-300) is undefeated in five contests since coming up short in his promotional debut three years ago and is now ranked 11th among UFC lightweights.
Mateusz Gamrot (+220) also fell to defeat in his UFC debut but has rebounded with convincing victories in three subsequent contests to climb to No. 12 in the rankings.
- Little was known about Tsarukyan when he first stepped into the Octagon at UFC Fight Night 149, where he came up short in an epic three-round unanimous-decision loss to Islam Makhachev that earned Fight of the Night honors.
- The 25-year-old Georgian has been dominant in five outings since, outstriking opponents by a massive 58-8 overall margin in devastating knockout wins over Joel Alvarez and Christos Giagos.
- Tsarukyan has quickly established himself as one of the lightweight division’s most effective strikers, trailing only Jalin Turner with a striking differential of 2.39. However, he also ranks third among 155-pounders by absorbing 1.36 significant strikes per minute.
- Overall, the former FEMFP lightweight champion has finished opponents in 12 of his 18 career wins, including eight victories inside five minutes. However, he is untested in championship rounds.
- Tsarukyan’s last three fights were Joel Alvarez (win – TKO punches), Christos Giagos (win – TKO punches) and Matt Frevola (win – unanimous decision).
- Like Tsarukyan, Gamrot was humbled in his UFC debut, a split-decision loss to Guram Kutateladze at UFC Fight Island 6 that also marked his first defeat ever as a pro.
- “Gamer” established himself as a fighter who can win by any method during his rise to both the KSW lightweight and featherweight championships. He has finished opponents in 12 of his 20 career wins (seven knockouts, five submissions).
- Gamrot began training as a freestyle wrestler at a young age and has been particularly effective on the mat during his brief UFC tenure. He has averaged three takedowns per fight in his four outings and needed just 65 seconds to earn the fastest finish of his career by submitting Jeremy Stephens at UFC Vegas 31.
- Despite seeing just nine of 22 career fights go the distance, Gamrot regularly saw action in championship rounds during his time as KSW champ.
- Gamrot’s last three fights were Carlos Diego Ferreira (win – TKO), Jeremy Stephens (win – submission) and Scott Holtzman (win – KO).
Prediction: Mateusz Gamrot (+220); UNDER 4.5 rounds (-105)
Neil Magny vs Shavkat Rakhmonov Odds & Pick
| Fighter | Odds |
|---|---|
| Neil Magny | +300 |
| Shavkat Rakhmonov | -400 |
Welterweights command the spotlight in Saturday’s co-main event as veteran Neil Magny (+300) takes on relative newcomer Shavkat Rakhmonov (-400). Magny enters the Octagon for the second time this year and is vying for a fourth straight victory.
Rakhmonov is coming off a crushing first-round KO win over Carlston Harris at UFC Vegas 47 and now looks to extend his unblemished pro MMA record to 16-0.
- A veteran of 28 UFC contests since 2013, Magny has claimed victory in five of his last six outings, with each of those contests getting decided by the judges. Overall, “The Haitian Sensation” has seen 16 of his 26 career fights go the distance, including a UFC-record 12 wins by decision as a welterweight.
- The 34-year-old has also seen seven of his wins come by KO or TKO, but he has not finished an opponent since tallying a first-round knockout win over Craig White over four years ago. Four of his eight career defeats have also come inside five minutes.
- Not surprisingly, Magny ranks among the all-time UFC welterweight leaders in several striking categories. He also enjoys a two-inch height advantage and a three-inch reach advantage over Rakhmonov.
- Magny’s last three fights were Max Griffin (win – split decision), Geoff Neal (win – unanimous decision) and Michael Chiesa (loss – unanimous decision).
- While Rakhmonov has just three UFC fights under his belt, he brings impressive credentials to the Octagon. The 27-year-old is a former WMMAA Asian and world champion. He is also a former KZMMAF and M-1 welterweight champ.
- The first Kazakh fighter to sign a contract with the UFC, “Nomad” has demonstrated his versatility during a career-opening 15-0-0 run that features nine wins inside five minutes. That includes eight wins by KO or TKO and seven by submission.
- Rakhmonov has also kept opposing strikers at bay through his first three UFC fights, absorbing just 25 total significant strikes in those contests.
- Rakhmonov’s last three fights were Carlston Harris (win – KO), Michael Prazeres (win – submission) and Alex Oliveira (win – submission).
Prediction: Shavkat Rakhmonov (-400); UNDER 2.5 rounds (-140)
Josh Parisian vs Alan Baudot Odds & Prediction
| Fighter | Odds |
|---|---|
| Josh Parisian | -110 |
| Alan Baudot | -120 |
Struggling heavyweights seeking to rediscover their winning touch clash as Josh Parisian (-110) tangles with Alan Baudot (-120) in a three-round matchup on Saturday night.
Parisian is coming off his second defeat in three outings, a third-round TKO loss to Don’Tale Mayes last December at UFC Fight Night 199, while Baudot is now winless in three fights after dropping a three-round unanimous decision to Parker Porter in February at UFC Vegas 48.
- Parisian was awarded a UFC contract on the strength of an impressive first-round KO win over Chad Johnson on Dana White’s Contender Series 30, but he has earned just one win in three UFC contests since.
- The 28-year-old held multiple titles prior to joining the UFC, including the KOTC, LOC and CLIP heavyweight crowns, and has recorded seven of his 14 career wins by first-round knockout.
- Parisian has landed an impressive 4.93 significant strikes per minute in UFC action but has struggled to defend, absorbing 4.95 strikes per minute. He has also struggled on the mat, with opponents averaging over seven minutes of control over his past three outings.
- Parisian’s last three fights were Don’Tale Mayes (loss – TKO), Roque Martinez (win – split decision) and Parker Porter (loss – unanimous decision).
- Baudot’s UFC debut has fallen well short of expectations. Victory has eluded the former HEAT light heavyweight champion in three trips to the Octagon, capped by a three-round unanimous-decision loss to Parker Porter last time out at UFC Vegas 48 that marked the first fight of his career to go the distance.
- “The Black Samurai” was outclassed in his UFC debut, falling by TKO to Tom Aspinall just 95 seconds into their date at UFC Fight Island 5.
- Baudot looked poised to rebound with a fast start against Rodrigo Nascimento last summer at UFC Vegas 31 but quickly ran out of gas on his way to a second-round TKO loss that was later deemed a no contest due to a failed drug test by Nascimento.
- Baudot also suffered a third-round submission loss to Todd Stoute at TKO 47 just prior to joining the UFC three years ago, but he was later awarded the win by DQ after Stoute tested positive for cannabis.
- Baudot’s last three fights were Parker Porter (loss – unanimous decision), Rodrigo Nascimento (no contest) and Tom Aspinall (loss – TKO).
