vs Zac Pauga clear UFC Fight Night Andrade vs Blanchfield Predictions & Full Card Breakdown UFC Vegas 69 · February 14, 2023
He openly discloses he personally roots for Wright yet still goes with Pauga -- fan disclosure, not a hedge on the win -- and backs it with a method bet (the under) built on Wright's inability to last deep into a fight.
An explosive, 'kill or be killed' fast starter with a strong karate background, nasty kicks and real power in his hands. Our words: that same aggression leaves his striking defense rough, and he has been rocked and rattled repeatedly; he also cannot sustain a fight deep into the later rounds, which the analyst builds a method bet around.
vs Dusko Todorovic clear UFC Fight Night: Grasso vs Araujo Full Card Analysis, Preview, and Prediction · October 10, 2022 · 1 read since
A fully built mechanism, early finish upside against a durability-only alternative, with an explicit round and method call and no hedge anywhere on who wins.
Carries real power and a dangerous early finishing upside, but his own defense is rated flatly awful, summed up as a fighter who either finishes or gets finished. Grappling is explicitly not to be relied on; a takedown attempt in his last outing reportedly backfired on him. The case for him rests on getting the job done before the fight settles into the later rounds.
