Insider info
vs Jose Delano lean None · November 1, 2026
He states he has to go with Delano but frames the matchup as essentially even, concedes a slight grappling edge to Magomedov with repeated qualifiers, and closes by saying they'll see.
An undefeated, grappling-first finisher with heavy clinch boxing and knees, graded as a solid grappler who may hold a marginal mat edge but is seen as the second-best striker in the pairing.
vs Melsik Baghdasaryan clear UFC Fight Night Kape vs Horiguchi Full Card Preview & Predictions · June 16, 2026 · 1 read since
Strong close: "should win this pretty comfortably."
A good striker with real power, good knees and dirty boxing, but judged the better grappler of his two games, with a path to lean on that option if striking stalls. His grappling is called solid: good takedowns, strong top pressure, staying safe while grappling, good submission defense and a strong submission arsenal with good ground and pound.
