vs Jessie Rosas coinflip UFC Fight Night Silva vs Delgado Full Card Preview & Predictions · September 9, 2026
grapplingsolid

Leans on the root-beer idiom and adds "no certainty about this," the classic coinflip combination.

King prefers working behind a crisp jab at range, backed by a wide kicking arsenal, and mixes in knees and elbows up close. His wrestling background (a strong high-school run, then solid college ball) shows in a varied takedown arsenal that includes a back throw most MMA fighters don't use, plus heavy slams and traditional finishes. On the mat he transitions well and scrambles, though his top control is sometimes thinner because he's hunting the finish rather than just controlling. The analyst calls this a toss-up pick made mostly for fun.
