UFC Fight Night Tsarukyan vs Hooker brings us a must-see match-up in the Lightweight division that could lead to title implications for one of the fighters. Will Arman Tsarukyan and his pressure wrestling get the next shot at current champion Ilia Topuria, or will it be the brawler Dan Hooker who gets the shot?

Below are the best bets, fight-by-fight predictions, and a streamlined guide on how to bet these picks at DraftKings.

 

 

 

UFC Fight Tsarukyan vs Hooker: Saturday, November 22nd

Tsarukyan vs Hooker (Main Event Pick)

Arman is the better wrestler, and to make this fight as easy as possible, I expect him to go to the wrestling early.  If he doesn’t get the fight on the ground, he is going to be in for a tough battle.  I’m taking him to win by submission as he looks to make a statement and a claim for the Lightweight Title.

Best Bet: Tsarukyan by Submission +350

Myktybek Orolbai vs Jack Hermansson

Best Bet: Hermansson ML +205
Orolbai is moving up from the 155lb division, while Jack is coming down from 185lbs.  Jack has fought some of the best Middleweights in the world, while Orolbai has struggled with anyone around the top 15 of the Lightweight division.  Unless Jack really is just shot, I expect him to be able to win this fight using his striking and defensive wrestling.

Ismael Naurdiev vs Ryan Loder

Best Bet: Ryan Loder ML +110
Loder has the clear wrestling advantage, and as long as he survives the early onslaught, he should be able to dominate this fight.  Naurdiev has some good striking, and he has shown himself to be no stranger to fouling his opponents to get an advantage, so this could get greasy.  Skill for skill, I think Loder should be -150, so I’ll be taking a shot on him.
