By: Ryan Wohl

There are 10 Australians on this card, and the final one to compete is Jimmy Crute, who will fight Ivan Erslan in the co-main event of the card. Crute is 1-2-1 in his last four fights, as Erslan is 0-2 in the UFC. Crute and Erslan will face off in a three-round Light Heavyweight bout.

Check out my best bet for Jimmy Crute vs. Ivan Erslan at UFC Perth.

Jimmy Crute to Win by KO/TKO/DQ or Submission (-105)

Crute is a -230 favorite on DraftKings Sportsbook with Erslan being the +190 underdog. Even though Crute has had a weird stretch recently, his last six victories have come by finish. Crute’s previous win by decision came in March 2018.

On paper, Crute has numerous advantages over Erslan. Crute averages more significant strikes per minute at a higher rate while landing over four takedowns per minute. In his previous fight, Crute submitted Marcin Prachnio in the first round at UFC 318. If Crute is as aggressive as he was in that contest, another finish is likely with his versatile skillset. You can get Crute to win by KO/TKO/DQ or submission at -105 on DraftKings Sportsbook. Crute’s opponent, Erslan, has lost three of his last four fights.
