Insider info
vs Journey Newson coinflip UFC Fight Night: Cannonier vs Strickland Full Card Analysis, Preview, & Prediction · December 14, 2022
Explicitly hedged: says he does not feel super confident in this pick; leans Morozov's way as the 'more likely outcome' rather than a settled read.
An in-close, dirty-boxing striker who the analyst sees as the fighter more likely to land takedowns in this matchup. His path to winning runs through closing distance, landing shots up close, and possibly getting the fight down, rather than outstriking Newson at range.
