Tsarukyan, freshly rebranded from Ahalkalakets to Batman ahead of this card, has won five straight fights with his only recent loss coming against Mateusz Gamrot. He submitted Dan Hooker in his most recent outing last November, and neither of his two career UFC losses has come by finish. We’re naturally backing Batman in this Tsarukyan vs Ruffy match prediction.

Batman brings a suffocating wrestling base to every fight, and that is backed by a freestyle pedigree few in the division can match. Arman Tsarukyan has now finished four of his last five wins, split between strikes and the mat. What’s more, he has never been stopped in the octagon himself across nine professional fights.

Meanwhile, Ruffy's only UFC defeat came against a grappler who took him down and choked him out inside two rounds. That loss ended a seven-fight winning streak stretching back to his promotional debut.

He has answered since with back-to-back stoppages of Rafael Fiziev and Michael Chandler, but neither man tested him on the ground the way this fight will. For us, both men go in, and Tsarukyan comes out on top, regardless of winning method.

Our Arman Tsarukyan vs Mauricio Ruffy Prediction

Tsarukyan's case rests on two things Ruffy has not had to answer since his only loss. And that’s elite wrestling and a chin that has never been cracked. That loss showed Ruffy can be taken down and controlled, which is exactly Batman's game.

Ruffy has beaten two strikers since, but neither tested the hole that cost him his unbeaten UFC run. Hence, our Arman Tsarukyan vs Mauricio Ruffy fight prediction is that Arman Tsarukyan wins by KO, TKO, DQ, or Decision.

Prediction :

 

Tsarukyan wins by KO, TKO, DQ, or Decision
