A pair of lightweights that aren’t afraid of grappling battle this evening when Davi Ramos faces Arman Tsarukyan at UFC Fight Night on ESPN in Abu Dhabi on Fight Island. But should this fight be on your fantasy roster?
Ramos is 10-3 overall, 4-2 in the UFC. All his losses have needed the judges, but has dished out seven submissions and a knockout. “The Tasmanian Devil” from Rio de Janeiro is a BJJ fighter, averaging 2.42 takedowns per 15 minutes with a 50% accuracy. In six UFC fights, he’s never been taken down himself
But that might change tonight as the Russian Tsarukyan is favored and 14-2 overall, 1-1 in the UFC. He’s averaged 1.5 takedowns per 15 minutes, and this looks like it’s heading for the floor. Tsarukyan does have five submissions and five takedowns in his two-match octagon career.

During his four-match win streak from 2017-19, Ramos did average 101.5 DFS points during those victories. He mostly did so via submission, though he did land 63 significant strikes once. But he’s not likely to win this bout via the oddsmakers, and Tsarukyan just isn’t friendly towards fantasy players with a 37.5 points average in his two graded fights. He also went the distance in both, which isn’t what fantasy players want to see.
This one is a grapple-show and might need all 15 minutes, so it’s an avoid for fantasy.
