Insider info
vs Dricus Du Plessis coinflip UFC 282 Full Card Analysis, Preview, and Prediction · December 6, 2022
Names Du Plessis but undercuts it directly, saying plainly he is not confident at all and that the other man wins comfortably if he shows up as his old self.
A former title threat who inexplicably cannot find his old form, now a losing record across his last five. Clean, technical striking with a real weapon in his kicks, which should matter more here given the stance matchup, but gives up offense entirely once taken down and held there.
Strengthclean, technical striking
Strengthstrong kicking game, especially favorable given the stance matchup here
Weaknesslittle to no offense once taken down and controlled on the bottom
Weaknessa sustained, unexplained drop in form (losing record across his last five)
