BENEIL DARIUSH vs ARMAN TSARUKYAN
Lightweight Main Event:
Beneil Dariush is a fighting out of the USA, and he is known for his clean striking and stamina. He has spent nearly 10 years as a professional fighter in the UFC and he has won 16 of his 22 fights, with 1 draw and 5 losses. His most recent fight took place in June this year at UFC 289, where Dariush went head-to-head with the talented Charles Oliveira, losing in round 1 by TKO.
He enters this fight as the underdog, and he will be looking to get back on the winning side of things after his recent loss.
Arman Tsarukyan is an Armanian fighter who for his striking power and athletic ability. Since losing his debut fight by submission to Islam Machachev in 2019, Tsarukyan has turned things around, winning 7 of his 8 fights so far. He last fought in June of this year, where he beat Joaquim Silva by TKO in late round 3.
Although he is the slightly more inexperienced fighter, Tsarukyan’s recent form has led him to enter the octagon as the betting favourite this weekend.

Dariush (12/5)
Tsarukyan (7/20)
PREDICTION:
I believe that Tsarukyan will be simply too good on the night and will win the fight in round 3 via TKO.
JALIN TURNER vs BOBBY GREEN
Lightweight bout:
Jalin Turner is an American fighter who entered the UFC in 2018, he is well known for his grappling and striking, and he has won 6 of his 10 fights so far. He has only won 1 of his last 3 fights with his 2 most recent fights ending in decision losses to Matuesz Gamrot and Dank Hooker, with both fights taking place earlier this year. Even given his poor form as of late, Turner will still enter the fight as the favourite in the betting markets.
Bobby Green is an American fighter and with over 10 years of UFC experience under his belt, he is a veteran in mixed martial arts. He has won 12 of his 23 fights, with 1 ending in a draw, 9 losses and 1 no contest. He has not lost in his last 3 fights with 1 being a no contest and him winning his 2 most recent fights against Tony Ferguson (submission) and Grant Dawson (KO/TKO) earlier this year.

Turner (40/85)
Green (18/10)
PREDICTION:
I believe that based on Green’s recent form and him nearing the end of his career he will come out firing and win by submission in round 3.

His last fight took place in August, where he lost to Cory Sandhagen by decision. He will enter the fight as the slight favourite on this occasion.
