Oliveira vs. Tsarukyan Betting Preview
If you are betting on the upcoming UFC fights this weekend, you need to be able to understand the styles of both fighters in a matchup and be able to determine what to bet on based on what the betting lines look like.
The UFC odds for this one have Oliveira as the +180 underdog to the younger Tsarukyan, who is a -210 betting favorite. Odds-makers also favor this fight to end inside the distance at -285.
If you are already set on a bet on Tsarukyan, it’s going to be tough to be talked out of it. Stylistically, he is the younger fighter with better wrestling that could make this fight into a boring wrestling match with him controlling it on top to get away from the dangers of Oliveira.
On any Oliveira betting guide, you will see, he is arguably the most dangerous man in the UFC right now. Even at the age of 34, he isn’t one to play around with in the octagon. He will jump out at the start of the first round with lots of pressure, straight punches, and high kicks. He is also the most dangerous submission artist in UFC history.
The physical advantage goes to Oliveira as well. He is at least three inches taller and has a longer reach than Tsarukyan. That could help a lot with the straight punches Oliveira throws, beating Tsarukyan to the punch.
Oliveira vs. Tsarukyan Betting Prediction
This fight could be broken down endlessly, going into the technical aspects and how their styles clash in the cage. But to put this simply, you can’t bet against Oliveira and be confident about it.
Our official Oliveira vs. Tsarukyan prediction is that Oliveira starts fast and finishes this fight in the first round. He will catch Tsarukyan with a punch against the cage and finish it with his hands or jump on submission.
There are levels to this game and Do Bronx will prove yet again why he deserves another title shot.
- Pick: Oliveira in Round 1 (+450)
