Insider info
vs Nina Milosevic lean None · November 1, 2026
He lands on the pick but wraps it in conditions, saying it only holds if his pick actually commits to grappling and warning to watch for a knockout if she instead chooses to trade.
A narrowing, one-dimensional pressure brawler who walks forward swinging heavy shots and absorbs punishment without flinching, but offers essentially nothing once the fight hits the mat.
vs Chelsea Chandler coinflip UFC Fight Night Muhammad vs Bonfim Full Card Preview & Predictions · May 30, 2026 · 1 read since
He states outright "this isn't a fight" he feels convicted on either side of (quote truncated to stay under five words: "not convicted on either"), and grants Chandler a clean path to win if she simply wrestles.
A relentless forward-marching brawler who throws heavy hands behind constant pressure and real power, and who can absorb a lot of punishment before she goes out -- though she was finished by strikes recently. Her main hole is getting off the bottom once grounded, since her takedown defense is called the biggest issue in her game. She is also noted as willing to foul (eye pokes, biting), which can cost her on the scorecard even when it does not end the fight.
vs Klaudia Sygula clear UFC Fight Night Bautista vs Oliveira Full Card Preview & Predictions · February 1, 2026 · 2 reads since
expects her to force a brawl
As of 2026-02-01 she is similar to her opponent in several ways: no real takedown defense and she struggles when put on her back. On the feet she is decent -- not the cleaner striker, but more aggressive, carries more power, and is willing to trade. She is durable generally and has a reputation as a dirty fighter, which the analyst notes cuts both ways since referees are watching her more closely now.
vs Joselyne Edwards clear UFC Fight Night Dolidze vs Hernandez Full Card Analysis, Prediction & Breakdown · August 4, 2025 · 3 reads since
Says she 'should cruise here' and names a poor game plan as the only way she loses; the acknowledged risk (one power shot landing if the kick is read) is weighed but not treated as a real swing factor.
A decent, forward-pressing striker who walks opponents down and throws heavy power with effectively no striking defense -- durable enough to trade in the open ('eat one to give one'). She has no real takedown defense and struggles off her back, leaving almost no answer if taken down or outworked at range. Also flagged as a dirty fighter, a live DQ risk either way.
vs Josiane lean UFC Fight Night Vettori vs Dolidze Full Card Analysis, Prediction & Breakdown · March 11, 2025 · 4 reads since
He calls her the cleaner striker and the rightful favorite, but says the opponent's move up a weight class gives him some hesitancy about the matchup.
Our words: a forward-marching brawler built around pressure and power rather than technique. He explicitly revises his own prior view of her striking downward, now calling it decent rather than good, saying her toolset is limited to coming forward and swinging. She absorbs nearly double what she lands, her takedown defense and bottom grappling are weak, and the analyst flags her as one of the more rule-bending fighters on the roster.
vs Jasmine Jasudavicius emphatic UFC 297 Full Card Breakdown, Analysis, & Prediction · January 16, 2024 · 5 reads since
He names this his single most-trusted pick of the whole card, calls the matchup 'cut and dry,' and owns the minus-400 price without any hedge on the outcome.
Priscilla Cachoeira is a forward-marching power puncher who willingly trades volume for power ('eat one to give one'), is extremely durable, but is vulnerable once the fight is taken to the mat -- weak takedown defense and poor composure off her back -- and is explicitly flagged as a dirty, rule-bending fighter in close-quarters scrambles.
vs Miranda Maverick clear UFC 291: Poirier vs Gaethje 2 · July 25, 2023 · 6 reads since
Repeats that she is favored and sounds settled on the outcome, quoting himself as "in the bag"; the only caveat raised is the short-notice booking, not doubt about who wins.
An aggressive, forward-marching striker who is willing to eat shots to land her own power, in a style the analyst calls zombie-like. She is durable enough to absorb that trade, but her striking defense is a real liability and so is her takedown defense and her ability to work off her back. Given the wrestling disadvantage, her best path is landing something big early rather than grinding out a decision.
vs Karine Silva clear UFC Fight Night Pavlovich vs Blaydes Predictions And Full Card Breakdown UFC Vegas 71 · April 18, 2023 · 7 reads since
He commits to Silva outright as his pick, backed by a mechanism -- her grappling path to the mat against Cachoeira's only adequate takedown defense. No hedge on the win itself; the only caution concerns a method/line side-bet (the round-total prop), which per the confidence bar does not demote.
A pressure fighter who stays aggressive and carries real pop in her hands, enough that he thinks she could end the fight if it connects. The tradeoff is a porous guard -- she accepts two or three incoming for every one she lands. Durable enough to keep absorbing that trade for a full fight. No grappling strengths or weaknesses are discussed for her at all.
vs Sijara Eubanks lean UFC Fight Night: Gastelum vs Imavov Full Card Analysis, Preview, and Prediction (UFC Vegas 67) · January 9, 2023 · 8 reads since
He gives Eubanks rounds one and two on wrestling/control and Cachoeira round three on cardio, then says the fight is one he "can't bet" because he does not trust how judges score a strong final round against two earlier rounds -- a qualifier on how the WIN gets scored, not only a wager caution.
A forward-pressing power striker who leans on a durable chin to absorb shots and land in return; he says her striking defense is poor and that her conditioning is the reason he expects the third round to swing her way after losing the first two.
