Ateba Gautier favored over Ozzy Diaz clear UFC 328 · May 2, 2026
Picked clearly by knockout -- the analyst rates him much cleaner everywhere on the feet against a durable but limited striker.
A noticeably sharper striker, boxer, and overall MMA hitter than this particular opponent -- solid, powerful striking backed by real volume and good knees. He sets up the head kick nicely off a one-two, with his hips already rotating into position as the combination lands. A snappy jab and well-worked combinations round out the package. His grappling grades out as decent -- solid ground and pound, with takedown defense that leaves something to be desired -- but he's quick to scramble back to his feet whenever he's taken down. He was once likened to a very famous elite heavyweight striker after an impressive win, though opinion of him has cooled some since a more recent, less impressive showing.
