vs Colby Thicknesse clear UFC 333 Full Card Preview & Predictions · October 17, 2026
strikinggood grapplingsolid

"We're taking Choporov" after a built case on Thicknesse's poor striking defense and shaky takedown defense versus Chopurov's all-around grappling.

Good, well-rounded striker who moves and feints well with a full kick arsenal and forward pressure, but is open to be countered. Solid grappler with a strong takedown arsenal -- especially body-lock takedowns, trips, and mat returns -- and is described as a genuine menace once he gets to the back, hunting the rear naked choke.
