Insider info
Andrei Arlovski favored over Marcos Rogerio de Lima lean UFC Fight Night: Kattar vs Allen · October 26, 2022
strikingdecent
cardiogood
The pick is framed as good value on a proven underdog rather than a lock, with the analyst noting he wouldn't be shocked if the streak finally breaks.
Arlovski is the steadier, more predictable fighter in this heavyweight clash — still light on his feet, still able to carry his conditioning across three rounds even this deep into his career. The read here is that survival in round one is the whole equation: if he's still standing after the opening frame, his cardio edge and calmer approach let him pull away on the scorecards. His power has faded from his prime, but experience and pace management are enough to grind out rounds two and three.
