Insider info
vs Vlasto Cepo coinflip UFC Fight Night Medic vs Rodriguez Full Card Preview & Predictions · July 26, 2026
Leans toward the other fighter first, then reverses course right at the end. Final pick is explicitly given despite naming real flaws (striking defense, a rough recent run) in the man he lands on.
Urbina rates as a decent striker who makes good use of his length and volume, though his striking defense is called shaky, which the analyst notes often comes with being a tall man in this weight class. His grappling rates decent on offense, blending takedowns smoothly into his striking, though his own takedown defense is likewise shaky. The analyst ultimately sides with him given the opponent's poor striking defense and recent skid, despite Urbina carrying real flaws of his own.
vs Uros Medic clear UFC Fight Night Dolidze vs Hernandez Full Card Analysis, Prediction & Breakdown · August 4, 2025 · 1 read since
Calls Medic a 'big-time favorite' on a 'massive striking advantage'; the only hedge is a generic MMA disclaimer (anything can happen) that he immediately answers rather than leaves standing.
A decent striker who leans on a frame/reach advantage and decent volume but defends with a passive 'tall-guy' lean-away style. His grappling is also just decent -- he mixes takedown attempts in with his striking, which the analyst likes -- but his takedown defense is not good, leaving him exposed on both ends. His only realistic path is landing takedowns early and often.
vs Charles Radtke lean UFC Fight Night Dolidze vs Imavov Full Card Analysis, Breakdown, & Prediction (UFC Vegas 85) · January 26, 2024 · 2 reads since
He names Radtke (by his own nickname for him) as the winner and says he thinks he gets it done, but immediately qualifies that he isn't super confident in the pick and notes it as another underdog on the card.
Urbina is a decent, good-volume striker who leans back defensively -- a tall man's habit that works until an opponent strings combinations together -- and a decent wrestler with decent takedowns mixed into his strikes, though his own takedown defense isn't the best. He holds a large height/reach edge.
vs Orion Cosce coinflip UFC Fight Night Dern vs Hill Predictions & Full Card Breakdown (UFC Vegas 73) · May 16, 2023 · 3 reads since
says he is not confident either way, calls it a razor-thin fight
A height/reach-advantaged, offense-first fighter. Decent striking with good volume but poor striking defense. Decent wrestling that mixes in takedowns well, but his own takedown defense is shaky and his submission defense can get lax when a shot is stuffed or positioned badly.
