vs Charles Radtke lean UFC Fight Night Garcia vs Onama Analysis, Breakdown and Predictions · October 28, 2025

He gives a real mechanism (grappling edge, cage pressure into a submission), but openly discloses that he irrationally favors Radtke in every one of his UFC fights regardless of result and picks him again here anyway, closing on "but I don't know."

A good, forward-pressuring striker with power and a useful leg kick, built around a heavy cross, but he overextends on that cross and drops his lead hand on the way back instead of returning it to guard, which the analyst flags as directly exploitable. His takedown defense is a real problem and he ends up held against the cage. As of 2025-10-28.

He names Frunza plainly ("we're going to take Frunza") but calls it himself "one of my less confident picks on the card," citing holes in Frunza's game and that it's a UFC debut.

A fighter he rates fairly well, pressing forward and throwing mostly off his rear side with a strong leg kick and a heavy overhand cross, though he leans out and lowers his lead hand right after throwing it, exposing himself to counters. Opponents can pin him on the fence when takedowns come, but his engine lets him climb back up. The analyst thinks if McKee is landing those power shots, Frunza will feel them, and gives him the nod on the cards even if McKee wins the output battle.
