Here's my Saragih vs. Yoo prediction for tonight.

Jeka Saragih vs. Yoo Joo-sang Odds

Saragih vs. Yoo Pick

Jeka Saragih has confounded the betting markets during his UFC tenure, losing to Anshul Jubli in his debut as a -140 favorite, before upsetting Lucas Alexander as a +430 underdog, and then losing to Westin Wilson as a -350 favorite.

He enters Saturday's bout against "Zombie Jr." Joosang Yoo as a significant underdog (as high as +425 as of writing). He will look to pull a significant upset against a UFC debutant.

Yoo is the bigger man (2" reach advantage) and the more technical fighter, but he does have a tendency to get after opponents and brawl, and if Saragih can lure him into a swinging match, he has the power to close the show.

I expect Yoo to struggle against more decorated grapplers as he ascends the Featherweight ladder. Still, Saragih seems unlikely to expose that part of his skillset, and Yoo seems like the far more durable fighter, with a deeper gas tank.

I show value on Yoo to win by KO/TKO (projected +164, listed +190) and my colleague, Billy Ward, likes him to win in Rounds 1 or 2 (-125), as opposed to his odds to win in Round 1 (+200) or the Under 1.5 Rounds (+102).

I do think his inside the distance odds (projected -129, listed -165) are a bit steep; however, an SGP (same-game Parlay) with Yoo and the Under 2.5 Rounds is only -130, compared to his odds to win in Rounds 1-2 at -125; both at DraftKings.

I'll save Yoo by KO for round-robin tickets.
