Insider info
Andrei Arlovski favored — picked against Marcos Rogerio de Lima lean UFC Fight Night: Kattar vs Allen · October 26, 2022
grapplinggood
cardiopoor
The pick against him is framed as value more than certainty, built on his history of a sharp cardio collapse after the first round.
De Lima is a live, alarming threat in the first five minutes — heavy hands, real knockout capability, and grappling that's good enough to end things once he gets on top. But the book on him is inconsistency: some nights he looks like a wrecking ball, other nights he fades hard, and that swing is tied directly to conditioning that tends to empty out after round one. If he can't finish Arlovski early, the fight is expected to slip away from him as his gas tank runs dry.
