Insider info
Iwo Baraniewski favored — picked against Austen Lane clear UFC Fight Night: Evloev vs Murphy · March 15, 2026
strikingdecent
grapplingdecent
Picked on a clear across-the-board skill edge, expecting Lane to get forced into a striking battle he isn't built to win.
Lane is an athletic late-arrival to the sport who's built his results more on physical tools than years of technical seasoning — his head kick and top-side ground-and-pound stand out, and he can turn people over once he's on top. The bigger issue is his defense on the feet; he doesn't do enough to avoid getting hit and has been finished by strikes before, which is a rough matchup against a heavier-handed opponent who's expected to make him fight standing.
