Diyar Nurgozhay Moneyline (-155)

After starting his UFC career 0-2, Nurgozhay recently got back on track with a unanimous decision victory against Rafael Tobias in March at UFC 326. Lopes is on a two-fight losing streak, with his last one coming against Navajo Stirling. 

Nurgozhay is a -155 favorite with Lopes being a +130 underdog in this contest on DraftKings Sportsbook. The total is set at 1.5 rounds, with the over at -125 and the under at -105. This fight is -295 not to go the distance.

Nurgozhay and Lopes have the same standing reach (74″) and height (6’2″). Nurgozhay does his best work on the feet, where he averages 1.64 more significant strikes than Lopes while being 16 percent more accurate. After getting knocked out in two consecutive fights, it could cause Lopes to be passive in this contest.
