Jose Delgado favored — picked against Austin Bashi lean UFC Fight Night: Du Plessis vs Usman · July 12, 2026
strikinggood grapplingsolid

Picked against, though the analyst notes the pull to pick him is real given how much the fanbase seems to dislike him, and calls the grappling edge in his favor.

A good striker with good kicks, a strong front kick in particular, and a good faint-into-lead-hook entry as he closes distance, keeping his guard high for most of the fight. His real strength, despite starting from a Muay Thai base, has become his wrestling and grappling: very good, varied takedowns he chains together well, strong position-advancing that looks to take the back, and an opportunistic rather than forcing approach to submissions once he's in control. Fights at a high pace that makes him hard to keep up with on both levels.
