Shem Rock favored — picked against Abdul-Kareem Al-Selwady lean UFC Fight Night: Evloev vs Murphy · March 15, 2026
strikingdecent grapplinggood

A soft lean toward the opponent based on a modest striking and durability edge, offered without much conviction and flagged as a fight that may not even happen given this fighter's cancellation history.

Al-Selwady comes forward behind a high guard with decent power and would rather get the fight to the mat, where he's more dangerous — good takedowns, a powerful double leg, and solid top pressure working toward mount. His kick-catching should be a particularly useful tool here given he's fighting a kick-heavy opponent, though a history of cancelled bookings means there isn't much recent momentum to go on.
