vs Joel Alvarez lean UFC 328 Full Card Preview & Predictions · May 2, 2026
calls it close multiple times, concedes the aggression plan could also backfire
A well-rounded striker-grappler with good volume and kicking at range plus clean boxing once he closes to punching distance. His wrestling produces impactful, often-damaging takedowns rather than just position, and his submission game (especially front chokes) is praised, with his UFC-debut finish singled out as especially impressive technique. The analyst calls him a genuinely complete fighter befitting a 29-1 record.
vs Neil Magny coinflip UFC Fight Night Royval vs Kape · December 9, 2025 · 1 read since
says he was 'this close' to picking Magny instead and 'still want[s] to' -- a hedge on the outcome itself, separate from a disclosed round-3 bet on Magny
His hands and kicks are both rated good -- combination boxing, range kicking, solid output -- but he is rated an even better grappler, which the analyst frames as his correct stylistic path: a well-rounded ground game, with takedowns, throws and slams all graded good, finished off with heavy work on the mat and a submission arsenal anchored in chokes. He is making the jump from Bellator/PFL, a crossover that has gone poorly for most fighters who have tried it recently, which the analyst flags as a real source of uncertainty even while rating him a genuinely good talent.
vs Jason Jackson clear Bellator 301 Full Card Preview & Predictions · November 13, 2023 · 2 reads since
The analyst calls Amosov possibly the best welterweight alive and expects him to repeat how he solved a similarly high-pace opponent (Logan Storley) twice before.
This welterweight title fight pits two fighters unbeaten in their last five, with Jackson holding a real size and reach edge at 6'1 and 78 inches against Amosov's 5'11, 75-inch frame. Jackson brings heavy hands, sharp counters, excellent leg kicks and a punishing, high-pace wrestling attack that has been very hard for opponents to handle. Amosov counters with crisp boxing and a lead hook that has floored plenty of opponents, but his real trump card is a dangerous front-choke arsenal and scrambling ability that make him miserable to hold down or take down himself. The analyst expects Amosov's more complete skill set to be enough to solve Jackson's pressure, much like it did against a similarly relentless Storley.
