Insider info
vs Darrius Flowers clear UFC Fight Night Moicano vs Duncan · March 29, 2026
expects him to cruise
An unorthodox striker with a wide kick arsenal and decent power; he mixes in takedowns rather than leaning on wrestling alone. He has faced a notably better level of competition than this opponent despite similar won-loss marks. The analyst expects him to control the fight unless caught early.
vs Daniel Zellhuber lean UFC Fight Night: Holloway vs. Allen · April 11, 2023 · 1 read since
Graded lean. The pick for Zellhuber is explicit, but its premise is a forgiving read of his last, flat performance: XX The price being unusually close is part of his run-up. He also calls Vannata no pushover and expects a close, entertaining fight. Defensible alternative: coinflip.
Vannata is an explosive, unorthodox striker who comes out fast and mixes spins and a wide kick variety, backed by serviceable wrestling when he needs it. The analyst's concern is that he gives up several inches of height and reach to Zellhuber, which neutralises a lot of the kicking. He still expects Vannata to keep it competitive.
