TheWeasle predicted Arman Tsarukyan would defeat Max Holloway if that lightweight bout is put together, calling it an even tougher stylistic assignment for Max than Topuria was. Tsarukyan would be “by far the best offensive wrestler Holloway has ever faced,” and Holloway’s track record backs that up: Alexander Volkanovski banked the first two meetings largely through takedowns and control, while most of Max’s other opponents – Frankie Edgar, Ricardo Lamas, Arnold Allen – offered only mid-level wrestling threats. Tsarukyan averages relentless chain shots, excels at riding from top, and Holloway has never shown the hip-heist game necessary to consistently scramble up. Given that grappling dynamic, TheWeasle expects Tsarukyan to pile up control time and believes bettors should side with Arman if odds open anywhere near a pick’em.

TheWeasle said Arman Tsarukyan would likely hand Ilia Topuria his first UFC loss if the bout gets booked. He called Tsarukyan the clear #1 contender and "the only fight in this division that is competitive" for Topuria because Tsarukyan is by far the best pure wrestler the champion would have faced. Topuria’s toughest takedown threat to date has been Bryce Mitchell, while Tsarukyan chains attempts for a full five rounds and excels at top-side control. TheWeasle added that Topuria averages fewer than two fights per year, so odds may open with him favored on hype; he would pounce on any plus-money Tsarukyan number, noting the matchup also serves as ideal preparation for a future Islam Makhachev showdown.

The Weasle predicted Arman Tsarukyan will dominate Justin Gaethje if the rumored No. 1-contender fight materializes. He highlighted Gaethje’s historically poor Brazilian jiu-jitsu—referencing Rafael Fiziev nearly catching an inverted triangle—and noted that while Gaethje has stout initial takedown defense, it will not withstand Tsarukyan’s relentless chain wrestling. Once on the ground, Tsarukyan’s top pressure and positional control should allow him to secure a submission even though submissions are not normally his finishing method. Given Gaethje’s deficiencies and Tsarukyan’s stylistic advantages, The Weasle declared Gaethje is “cooked” and advised backing Tsarukyan when lines open.
