Insider info
Jean Matsumoto favored — picked against Bekzat Almakhan coinflip UFC Fight Night: Fiziev vs Torres · June 21, 2026
Picked against with genuine indecision -- the analyst says he went back and forth and settled on the other side almost as a coinflip, calling it a fight to watch as a fan rather than bet.
A good striker who leans on power over volume -- good combinations, heavy kicks, and the ability to close distance suddenly with a big shot, trading some output for that power. Good grappler with good takedowns, a good single-leg, and good scrambling, though he struggles to hold opponents down once he's landing ground and pound, since they're able to scramble back up. Cardio is pretty good, helped by picking shots rather than overusing power, and he has a genuinely good killer instinct -- he knows when he's hurt an opponent and follows up.
