UFC 262 Ferguson vs. Dariush: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Records: Ferguson 26-5-0 | Dariush 20-4-1
Fight result (2-way line or money line)
FERGUSON (+135) is looking to bounce back after a two-bout losing skid. Although losses to Charles Oliveira and Justin Gaethje is certainly nothing to be ashamed about. His last win was June 8, 2019, against Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone at UFC 238, winning by TKO – Doctor’s Stoppage. Four of Ferguson’s past five fights have ended via stoppage.
As far as Dariush (-160) is concerned, the southpaw heads into this one with a 4.5-inch reach disadvantage, and Ferguson has a 5.46-to-4.00 significant strikes landed per minute advantage, too. Ferguson will be able to get it done as long as he can avoid Dariush getting him to the canvas.

Over/Under (O/U)
We’ve seen four of the past five fights for Ferguson end via stoppage, while the Assyrian fighter Dariush has also seen four of his past five fights end via stoppage, too. As such, NO (+115): WILL THE FIGHT GO THE DISTANCE? looks like a good value. UNDER 2.5 ROUNDS (+145) is also worth a roll of the dice.
