Insider info
vs Ian Machado Garry clear UFC 310 Full Card Analysis, Prediction & Breakdown · December 3, 2024
States plainly 'I do think shovot wins,' with his only hedge aimed at the betting price/number, not the outcome itself.
Solid striker with real power, kicks to all levels including legitimate spin kicks, and strong combination work; rated super durable. Dangerous in the clinch with knees and elbows plus good trips and throws. Solid grappling with submission attacks and good scrambling, though his own takedowns from open space are rated below elite -- he relies more on the clinch to get there.

considered betting the opposite
Our paraphrase: Rakhmonov is a solid (his word, landing there after briefly saying 'very good') striker with real power, dynamic kicks to all levels and good combinations, though he's somewhat hittable at times -- notably in the Jeff Neil fight, where he dropped his hands exchanging and got outstruck before finishing on the ground. He also has a good clinch game (devastating knees/elbows, good throws and trips) and attacks submissions once the fight is on the mat, and the analyst calls him good everywhere.
vs Geoff Neal lean UFC 285 Full Card Breakdown, Analysis, And Prediction · February 28, 2023 · 2 reads since
leans this side, but calls the matchup tighter than the market implies
An accurate, intent-driven striker (explicitly not framed as a pure power-puncher) who hunts the body before finishing upstairs, backed by solid wrestling with good top pressure and pinpoint ground-and-pound, quick to jump on a choke. Coming off a dominant win over a durable veteran.
