Insider info
vs Yohan Lainesse lean UFC 279 Full Card Preview, Predictions, & Analysis · September 7, 2022
Explicitly low confidence ("not mega confident"); leans toward Lainesse ("lean towards lioness"); final pick stated as "my pick lioness".
Weeks is 0-2 in the UFC but against solid opposition, so his analyst treats the record skeptically. He shows good volume, crisp boxing and decent head movement in his own fights. He is seen as the volume-and-boxing half of this matchup against a bigger-punching opponent, and is given a live chance if the fight goes to a decision.
