Insider info
vs Oban Elliott lean UFC Fight Night Medic vs Rodriguez Full Card Preview & Predictions · July 26, 2026
Says plainly 'I don't feel great about' the pick because so little is known about Oliveira. Advises viewers who would bet heavily on Oliveira to consider sitting this one out.
Oliveira, undefeated and making his promotional debut, is read as a good striker who picks his shots carefully behind a jab worked high and low, forward pressure, a sharp calf kick and real power. The analyst has no grappling read on him at all, since there is little grappling footage to go on. The pick leans his way on striking alone, but the analyst is explicit that it is made with real uncertainty given how little is known. The advice given is to wait and see how he handles being taken down before trusting the pick heavily.
