Tommy Gantt

Picks Gantt but admits it could be "a lot of trouble" after laying out a real, largely unanswered clinch route for Klose.

Still undefeated and five-for-five lately, Gantt is walking into the most significant test of his career. He fights long behind a stiff jab and straight punches, using his height and reach to land sharp knees and elbows, and controls distance well. Even so, he would rather close in, because the analyst rates him the better grappler and wrestler of the two; once he presses an opponent to the fence he mixes dirty boxing with knees and elbows. The one gap flagged is that if he is drawn into the clinch while closing the distance, the analyst thinks his opponent's uppercuts are a live danger.

He says 'everything points to' Gant but flags the UFC-debut risk directly and reminds viewers Ogden has upset prospects before, urging caution over full conviction.

Tommy Gant is an undefeated UFC newcomer the analyst rates as the more athletic, longer and more physically dominant fighter in this matchup. His striking is built on a long jab, range control, and knees/elbows for anyone who closes the distance, while his grappling/wrestling is his standout area: cage-push takedowns, dirty boxing, good ground-and-pound variety and a hard-to-hold-down top game. The one real question mark is that this is his first fight in the UFC itself.
