UFC Qatar Underdog Bets Dan Hooker to Defeat Arman Tsarukyan (+470)

Tsarukyan certainly deserves to be the favorite here, but given how wide the odds are it could be worth throwing some money down on Hooker to score an upset. “The Hangman” enters UFC Qatar on a three-fight win streak, and at 35 years old Hooker will be well aware that this matchup might represent his last chance to make a run at the UFC lightweight title.
Jack Hermansson to Defeat Myktybek Orolbai (+170)

Coming off an ugly knockout-loss to Gregory Rodrigues, Hermansson has elected to drop down a division after alternating wins and losses across his last nine fights at middleweight. Orolbai will certainly present a stiff test for him, but “The Joker” will bring a size advantage into the matchup and is unlikely to be out grappled.
Bekzat Almakhan to defeat Aleksandre Topuria (+114)

With his brother Ilia in his corner, fans will be watching intently to see if Topuria can improve to 2-0 in the UFC after besting the formerly-undefeated Colby Thicknesse in his UFC debut. Almakhan fell short to top-ranked bantamweight Umar Nurmagomedov in his own UFC debut before stopping Brad Katona, and “The Turan Warrior” has the skillset necessary to potentially stifle Topuria at UFC Qatar.

UFC Qatar Prop Bets Ian Machado Garry to Defeat Belal Muhammad via Decision (-125)

Nearly a 3 to 1 favorite to win this matchup outright, bettors can get significantly better odds on Machado Garry getting his hand raised via decision. The Irishman’s last finish came against Daniel Rodriguez in 2023, and former welterweight titleholder Muhammad hasn’t been stopped since his first meeting with Vicente Luque at UFC 205.
Arman Tsarukyan vs. Dan Hooker – Fight Goes Over 3.5 Rounds (+105)

While they’re each capable of getting things done early, Tsarukyan hasn’t been finished outside of his second pro fight and Hooker is known as one of the toughest fighters on the UFC roster. Both men are also returning from fairly long layoffs, so it might take a little while for things to really heat up given that they’ll have a possible five rounds to work.
Bogdan Grad vs. Luke Riley – Fight Doesn’t Go the Distance (-160)

This is one of the most highly-anticipated fights at UFC Qatar for hardcore MMA fans, and the expectation is that there will be fireworks when Riley steps in to make his UFC debut against Grad. Both men boast plenty of knockouts on their respective records, and it seems unlikely that this matchup will make it to the judges’ scorecards.
