(Source: Ottman's Wikipedia page)
"It was later announced by Dana that Ottman had broken safety protocols and Azaitar and his team cut their wristbands and handed them to others outside of the safe zone that snuck in past the security members and everything was caught on camera. As a result of this, he was released from the UFC"

Arman Tsarukyan, DEC
Matt Frevola is a great fighter but I think this is a very bad fight for him as he's just not at Arman Tsarukyan's level yet. I don't expect him to do badly but I don't expect him to win either.

Arman Tsarukyan, DEC
This feels like a mismatch, but Frevola's doggedness could be enough to grind out a win. I feel like Arman is a better wrestler, athlete, and all-around mma fighter. But Frevola's smothering, aggressive style could wear him down over the rounds.
