Insider info

1 analyst read · 138 MMA · our paraphrase, never his words
vs Tanner Boser lean UFC Fight Night Burns vs Malott · April 12, 2026
strikinggood grapplingsolid

Calls the matchup 'tricky' right before the pick and concedes Boser 'could absolutely catch him' on the opponent's bad habit.

A good striker whose good power and solid kick arsenal come with a liking for knees and basic combinations, undercut by a habit the analyst flags hard: looking away before winging a wild shot, which he treats as a real knockout risk at UFC level even though it hasn't cost him outside the UFC yet. He is a solid grappler who the analyst thinks can out-wrestle much of the division, with a go-to bodylock-and-drag takedown, a powerful double leg, good top pressure and heavy ground and pound; his lone loss (to Oleg Popov) is explained away as facing a particularly strong wrestler, not a general flaw in his takedown defense.
