Insider info

1 analyst read · 138 MMA · our paraphrase, never his words
vs Marcio Barbosa clear UFC Fight Night Hernandez vs Rodrigues Full Card Preview & Predictions · August 17, 2026
strikingdecent grapplinggood

Rates Barbosa clearly ahead on the feet by a noticeable margin, and doubts Kuse can impose his wrestling path.

A debuting fighter with decent enough striking: good long straight punches and a fairly good kick arsenal, though he enters with blitzes that can be caught and keeps his hands lower than the analyst would like. His grappling is his better side: a good takedown arsenal that often comes off the end of his strikes or a cage push, with a real tendency to work to the back once there. The analyst's path for him is explicitly a wrestling-heavy pace against Barbosa, but doubts he'll be allowed to find it over the full fight.
