vs Muin Gafurov lean UFC Fight Night Whittaker vs Aliskerov Full Card Analysis, Prediction & Breakdown · June 19, 2024
A good striker who is best at range, using a good rangy one-two and counter striking to punish opponents who close distance on him; his volume varies with the opponent. Very durable -- the analyst notes he has absorbed clean, powerful shots and kept going. Also a good wrestler with good takedowns, good top pressure, and creative, unorthodox submission attempts; works back to his feet well when taken down himself.
vs John Castaneda clear UFC 295 Full Card Breakdown, Predictions, & Analysis · November 7, 2023 · 1 read since
He concludes 'the volume and the pace' will belong to Castaneda and states twice, without any hedge on the win itself, that the pick is Castaneda.
A good striker at range who works a long one-two and keeps distance well, plus good wrestling with good takedowns, good top pressure, and creative, unorthodox submissions. His own volume is mixed -- the analyst grades it plus/minus, calling it 'more good than bad' overall but noting a few past fights where it was lackluster. The deciding factor against him is simply that he can't match Castaneda's own output level. As of 2023-11-07.
vs Cristian Quiñonez lean UFC Fight Night Vettori vs Cannonier Predictions And Full Card Breakdown (UFC Vegas 75) · June 13, 2023 · 2 reads since
Explicitly calls it 'a really interesting matchup... a tough one to predict' before committing to Quinonez on his forward pressure and grappling activity; no stay-away or idiom, but the stated difficulty of the read keeps this short of clear.
A range-based striker with a good, rangy one-two and good volume, who becomes more of a pressure-and-control wrestler once a takedown lands rather than hunting submissions outright, though he does have creative subs in his back pocket. Good takedowns overall. The analyst sees him disrupted by an opponent willing to brawl and pressure him.
