Askar Askarov -245 vs Brandon Royval
Fight is at 125 lbs and is -115 to end inside the distance.
This fight should be considered the people’s main event. Brandon Royval is one of, if not the most exciting fighter we have in the flyweight division. He has a unique style all his own and that holds true both in the stand up and on the floor. Royval moves forward without fear on the feet. He throws heavy and looks to do the more dynamic things in every fight. He will not be the more technically sound fighter in this matchup, but at this level he rarely or never will be.
Royval will be the fighter doing the more exciting things in the stand up. Royval’s wrestling is subpar, but he seems to not mind because his ability on the mat is truly high end. He is long and throws submissions at is opponents in perpetuity, whether on top or bottom. We will see Royval’s back hit the mat in this fight. The question is whether that is truly a bad thing.

Askar Askarov is a very good flyweight, and is deceptively close to a title shot at flyweight, despite coming off a loss to Kai Kara-France. He has tight if not dynamic striking. His best skill set is that of a strong wrestler. It is not only probable but instead a true expectation to see him land multiple takedowns in any of his fights. Those takedowns and the ensuing control time are generally what win his fights for him. Therein lies the problem for him in this matchup.
Royval is simply a ball of energy that is more dynamic and busier on the mat. He is not a fighter that will lay in guard and let his opponents take rounds. Even with the ability of Askarov, Royval will be the fighter threatening on the mat and he will be able to return to his feet as he chooses to.
Askarov remains the more technically disciplined fighter, but I do not believe that does him favors in this matchup. Royval is going to have the bigger moments in the stand up. He will appear to be the fighter attempting to finish to the judges. I believe he is also the far more likely fighter to secure a finish as well. That does not only hold true for appearances. Royval at +200 is the best underdog on the card and he will be our bet on the flat line.
Betting Pick: Royval +200
