Insider info
Ante Delija favored over Serghei Spivac clear UFC Fight Night: Strickland vs Hernandez · February 14, 2026
strikinggood
He's picking Delija on his cleaner boxing and dirty-boxing skill, expecting him to keep it standing and land against an opponent reportedly off his game.
Delija is a well-rounded fighter with a real striking foundation - forward pressure, good boxing combinations, effective dirty boxing, and legitimate power. He's not one-dimensional either, with solid takedowns, top pressure, and ground-and-pound to fall back on. The one clear hole flagged is that he can be controlled and held against the cage, which stands out as his most exploitable weakness.
