Insider info
Adrian Yanez favored over Cody Garbrandt coinflip UFC 329 · July 5, 2026
Picked as the presumptive favorite, but the analyst frames the whole fight as a coinflip he'd rather not bet, calling it entertainment rather than a confident read.
A solid striker with good combinations, good volume, quick hands, and work to the body, who also showed good takedown defense in a recent fight against a dedicated wrestler. The analyst notes he arguably should have won a recent decision that instead went the other way. A straightforward boxing-heavy profile without much additional detail volunteered on the grappling side.
Ricky Simon favored — picked against Adrian Yanez coinflip UFC Fight Night: Adesanya vs Pyfer · March 22, 2026 · 1 read since
Picked against, though the analyst notes a surprisingly close betting line and wonders if that reflects something missed in the read.
Boxing is his foundation, though he'll sprinkle in leg kicks for variety. He strings combinations together well, digs to the body effectively, has quick hands, and pushes a heavy pace. His takedown defense also holds up reasonably well. Keeping the fight standing and boxing at his own pace is generally how he wins -- forcing him away from that comfortable rhythm is the blueprint for beating him.
