Insider info

2 analyst reads · 138 MMA · our paraphrase, never his words
vs Gable Steveson clear UFC 329 Full Card Preview & Predictions · July 5, 2026
strikingdecent grapplingdecent

He says he 'feel[s] pretty darn confident' and that the one concession ('unless he gets caught') is answered by noting Steveson already absorbed a heel kick and 'was fine.'

Getting a bounce-back chance after a UFC loss, Ellison is rated a decent striker with some power and a decent, if 'regional-level,' grappling game: decent takedowns, decent top pressure, and pretty good ground and pound. The analyst does not see a path for him beyond catching Steveson on the feet, given the gulf in wrestling ability.

He says the fighter wins this fight all day, repeatedly says the line makes no sense to him and names only one specific, low-percentage path to a loss.

Graded generously by the analyst's own admission: decent striking with some power mostly from size, and decent grappling including decent takedowns and top pressure, plus fine ground-and-pound. No specific technical strength is identified beyond general size and output.
