Ryan Wohl breaks down his best bet for Ikram Aliskerov vs. JunYong Park at UFC 321.
One of the marquee fights on the UFC 321 Prelims is a Middleweight matchup between Ikram Aliskerov and JunYong Park. Aliskerov is 3-1 in the UFC with three first-round knockouts, as Park has won two straight fights and six of his last seven.
Here is my best bet for Ikram Aliskerov vs. JunYong Park at UFC 321.
Both fighters excel on the feet, and Aliskerov is the better all-around striker. Aliskerov averages more significant strikes (7.76 vs. 4.59) while being more accurate (62% vs. 50%). In the UFC, Aliskerov’s lone loss was against former champion Robert Whittaker in June 2024, but Aliskerov took that fight on short notice.
Aliskerov is a -230 favorite while Park is a +190 underdog in this contest on DraftKings Sportsbook. But since 12 of Aliskerov’s 16 wins have come by finish, it is best to get him to win by KO/TKO/DQ or submission at +125 against Park.
Park is slightly better on the ground, but that shouldn’t be a factor in this fight since Aliskerov has a 100 percent takedown defense. In the last six years, Aliskerov has only won one fight by decision, as he is always aggressive inside the UFC Octagon.
