Built on 30 minutes of tracked cage time across 4 statted fights — every axis is held down until there is more tape, so read this as a sketch rather than a verdict.

Insider info
Azamat Bekoev favored over Tresean Gore clear UFC Fight Night: Moicano vs Duncan · March 29, 2026
strikinggood
grapplinggood
Picked clearly to win, with one specific tactical caveat about avoiding a standing guillotine.
Coming off a knockout loss. On the feet, presses the action, throws with real pop, mixes in simple combos, digs to the body -- clearly the sharper striker in this particular pairing. Wrestling holds up too, with heavy, well-timed takedowns, a reliable single-leg, and strong top-position work. The one thing that could derail him is getting caught in a standing guillotine; barring that, this should be comfortable.
