Insider info
vs Rizvan Kuniev lean UFC Fight Night Ankalaev vs Guskov Full Card Preview & Predictions · July 19, 2026
He commits to a specific route (a grinding decision) but closes with an explicit hedge on the pick itself ("could be swayed").
Judged the crisper striker of the two here, landing a stiff jab-cross and, by the analyst's own description, his best weapon: a body knee called the key to winning. His wrestling is just as capable, especially pinning opponents against the fence for a double-leg or body-lock drag, then following with heavy top pressure and strikes on the ground.

better grappler, feet good enough
Primarily a wrestler whose striking has improved a great deal and now carries real power, even if it isn't technically polished. His best asset is wrestling: strong takedowns, including against the cage, a double leg, and a bodylock-drag that gets opponents to the floor and grinds out their energy. His feet give him more finishing upside than his opponent in this matchup. This is his promotional debut.
vs Marcelo Golm clear Bellator 301 Full Card Preview & Predictions · November 13, 2023 · 2 reads since
He frames this as a significant step down in competition for Fortune and says he's generally unimpressed with Golm's skill level, not just in this specific matchup.
Fortune is credited with solid, if unspectacular, tools across the board -- a durable, forward-marching style where he's willing to absorb shots to wear an opponent down, plus strong chain wrestling that lets him control legs and scramble effectively once the fight hits the mat. The analyst is openly skeptical of Golm's overall level, arguing he was overrated even in a prior outing many fans liked and that he doesn't show much that stands out technically despite a 10-4 record. With little confidence in Golm's game, the pick goes clearly to Fortune.
