vs Xiao Long clear UFC Fight Night Nurmagomedov vs Song Full Card Preview & Predictions · August 26, 2026
He says Xiao Long wins very easily with a grappling-focused gameplan, slightly walks that back to 'quite confidently,' and still expects a win even if the fight stays standing.
Nuzzi is a newcomer the analyst has limited history on, rated a decent striker with decent power, a real kicking arsenal, and a workable one-two. He likes to press forward against the cage and mixes in clinch takedowns, following up with ground-and-pound when he lands on top. The clear weakness called out is his takedown defense, which the analyst rates poorly, saying directly that he expects Nuzzi can be taken down and controlled.
