Insider info
vs Khalil Rountree lean UFC Fight Night Luque vs dos Anjos Full Card Breakdown, Analysis, And Predictions · August 8, 2023
Names Rountree as the pick for now, but says plainly he will not wager on him before seeing the weigh-ins, and gives a full fallback pick (Daukaus) if the passive version shows up.
A boxing-style striker with good combinations, volume, and decent power, who has been on a recent run of knockout losses that raise real chin concerns; he has decent BJJ but rarely looks to use it, employing it mainly for ground-and-pound when a strike has already dropped his opponent.
vs Jairzinho Rozenstruik coinflip UFC 282 Full Card Analysis, Preview, and Prediction · December 6, 2022 · 1 read since
Names Daukaus but repeatedly undercuts the pick in his own words -- calls it close to a coin-flip matchup, says he is picking mainly for the sake of having a pick, and would not back it with money.
More of a boxing-first stylist with a good jab-to-power mix and functional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as backup, though the analyst does not expect the fight to reach the mat. Carries a suspect chin, having been stopped in his last two outings, and the analyst frames his best route as pressing forward with volume to deny the bigger man his one shot, with real finishing upside if he can do that.
