vs Jose Souza coinflip None · November 1, 2026
strikinggood

He openly says he has no real basis for the call, tells viewers to disregard it, and admits he only picks because he picks every fight, framing it as an amusing outcome rather than a read.

A forward-moving Muay Thai striker whose last showing is three years stale, leaving the analyst unwilling to trust any of it.

Strengthpressures forward and works behind steady volume
Strengthkicks to every level, leaning on leg and body work
Strengthpower behind his striking as he comes forward
Weaknessthree-year layoff makes his current skill level and physical condition impossible to assess
Weaknesshistory of concussion and groin issues contributing to the inactivity
Weaknessnot a wrestler and unlikely to threaten with takedowns
Weaknessgrappling largely unseen, so nothing to project from

vs Danny Roberts coinflip UFC Fight Night Aspinall vs Tybura Full Card Breakdown, Analysis, and Predictions (UFC London) · July 18, 2023 · 1 read since
strikinggood

Commits firmly to Roberts by name, then separately tells viewers to leave this fight off their card entirely -- named winner plus an explicit stay-away caps at coinflip, despite otherwise confident reasoning.

Parsons is a good, durable forward-pressure striker whose leg and body kicks are called brutal and whose volume and power carry the striking exchanges; the analyst explicitly says that absent his layoff, Parsons would likely win by knockout. The decisive factor against him is a long professional absence -- well over a year, possibly two.

Strengthgood forward-pressure striking
Strengthbrutal leg/body kicks
Strengthdurable, keeps coming forward
