Prediction, pick for Valter Walker vs. Louie Sutherland at UFC 321

After losing his first fight in the UFC, Valter Walker has won three consecutive bouts by first-round submission in the last 14 months. Now Walker takes on UFC debutant Louie Sutherland, who has a 10-3 record with eight knockouts.

Here is my best bet for Valter Walker vs. Louie Sutherland at UFC 321.

Valter Walker to Win by KO/TKO/DQ or Submission (-135)

Sutherland has competed in Bellator and PFL, but lost both of his fights in those promotions. But Sutherland is entering the UFC riding a four-fight win streak. Walker has displayed knockout power, with six career wins by KO/TKO, but he has recently shown he can finish on the ground as well.

Walker is a big -375 favorite while Sutherland is a +295 underdog on DraftKings Sportsbook in this matchup. On Friday, Walker weighed in 21.5 pounds lighter than Sutherland, which should give Walker an advantage in this fight. Walker is the quicker fighter in this bout, and he should be able to wear Sutherland down with his athleticism and versatile arsenal.

Since Walker is such a big favorite, getting him at -135 to win by KO/TKO/DQ or submission is the better play in this contest. Walker has 10 wins by finish in his career, with his last seven victories coming by knockout or submission.
