Calls it genuinely hard to split and says he may end up betting both corners once the line moves -- real outcome doubt stacked on a wager-caution signal.

A flyweight with a bumpy but genuinely competitive recent stretch -- several losses by split decision -- who brings real power, accurate hands, good combinations and good kicks; his defense on the feet is graded suspect, yet his durability is what keeps him in close fights. Decent grappling -- mixes in takedowns and works back to his feet quickly when taken down himself.

vs Felipe dos Santos lean UFC Fight Night Moreno vs Royval 2 Full Card Analysis, Breakdown, & Prediction (UFC Mexico) · February 19, 2024 · 1 read since
strikinggood grapplingdecent

uses the word 'lean' toward Dos Santos, then firms up to a take; separate round-total prop talk (a 75 percent finish estimate) is about the prop bet, not the win pick.

Victor Altamirano is a high-output striker with real power and accuracy who mixes punches and kicks well and throws good combinations, but his striking defense is a hole and he is hittable. His jiu-jitsu is decent but he typically uses it only to scramble back to his feet rather than to control or finish, since striking is really his main identity.

He names Altamirano directly and separately states he is passing on the sympathetic veteran despite liking him personally -- both plain, repeated commitments tied to specific striking reasoning, not a bare pick.

Altamirano is read as an accurate, power-carrying striker who mixes punches and kicks within the same combination, which is specifically framed as hard for an unorthodox, pattern-reading opponent to solve. His own striking defense is a stated concern, and on the mat his priority is getting back to his feet rather than working from the bottom.

strikinggood grapplingdecent

Soft commitment language used twice: 'I'm gonna lean [Altamirano]' and 'I do like [Altamirano] just a little bit' -- no outright hedge on the win, but nothing stronger than lean either.

A good, powerful and accurate striker who mixes punches and kicks in combination, including disguised kicks off the back of punches. His own striking defense is better than Salvador's but still not good overall. On the ground his decent BJJ leans toward working back to his feet rather than staying down.
