Insider info
vs Guido Cannetti emphatic UFC FIGHT NIGHT: Dern vs Yan Full Card Analysis, Preview, and Prediction · September 28, 2022
He calls Costa the clear-cut winner and says he would be very surprised if wrong, adding he can't picture the opponent winning at all. No hedge on the win itself; the minus-300 price remark is a value/wager caution, not outcome doubt, and does not demote per the confidence-bar rule.
Younger fighter (still in his 20s) with a height and reach edge over Cannetti and, in the analyst's view, the better striking. He has faced notably tougher competition than his two-and-three record suggests and has shown moments even in losses. Picked as the clear winner with strong language.
