Fight Preview
Beneil Dariush (22-5-1) is trying to bounce back from a first-round loss to Charles Oliveira some five months ago. He’s taking on Arman Tsarukyan (20-3) who’s trying to win a third fight in a row.
Both of them are well-rounded fighters, with Dariush being an expert in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Tsarukyan being one of the best freestyle wrestlers in the UFC.
Darius, who’s a former IBJJF world champ, has lost only one fight by submission in his MMA career. It happened in 2015 when he was only starting in the UFC. He’s got a takedown defense of 80%, but we’re not sure this is going to work for him in Austin.
It’s because his opponent makes 3.43 takedowns per fight on average. In his last two fights – vs. Damier Ismagulov and Joaquim Silva – we saw him record a total of 11 TDs.
Beneil Dariush vs. Arman Tsarukyan Prediction
The UFC on ESPN: Dariush vs. Tsarukyan odds suggest Tsarukyan is more likely to win. We can only agree because this guy’s just been way more impressive than Dariush in recent times.
