vs Azat Maksum coinflip UFC Fight Night Holm vs Bueno Silva Full Card Breakdown, Analysis, and Predictions (UFC Vegas 77) · July 11, 2023
Says he won't get confident in the pick and takes Maksum only 'for the sake of' having one.
A veteran counter-striker with real one-shot knockout power and a good leg kick, who the analyst says can flatten Maksum if he lands his shot while waiting for Maksum to come forward. Very good takedown defense, but his low volume and habit of getting backed up are real liabilities against a busier opponent.
vs Bruno Silva lean UFC Fight Night Yan vs Dvalishvili Predictions And Full Card Breakdown UFC Vegas 71 · March 7, 2023 · 1 read since
He twice calls it a "slight lean" and separately adds that this is his least confident pick on the card -- a direct hedge on the win itself, not on price or method.
A powerful striker who can get backed up under forward pressure but owns elite takedown defense (cited near 90%), which keeps this fight standing where his power shows. He is somewhat low-volume, sitting back for his opening rather than pressing output. His one-shot power is the central thread of the pick.
