Reed Kuhn's betting tip
"When two strong grapplers collide, it's hard to know if we'll see a back-and-forth wrestling match or if those credentials cancel out and force a standup contest. Tsarukyan boasts the longer UFC résumé, but Gamrot's wrestling background gives him a chance to neutralize the Russian fighter's usual takedown threat. If they spend time trading leather, Gamrot has an accuracy and power edge, even if Tsarukyan can push a superior pace. Five rounds give him plenty of time to work, so we'll see if Gamrot's win over notable (but aging) talent translates into similar performances against future contenders."
