Insider info
Jake Matthews favored — picked against Carlston Harris lean UFC Fight Night: Song vs Figueiredo · May 26, 2026
strikingdecent
grapplingdecent
Picked against, though the analyst gives real, explicit credit to a specific submission finish as this fighter's live path to victory.
Stepping in on short notice after a long layoff from a previously cancelled booking, a real relevant uncertainty about his current form. Good striker not on technical merit -- fairly wild -- but dangerous because of real power that genuinely hurts opponents when it lands. Historically high volume through forward pressure, though recent output has dropped for reasons the analyst is honest he can't pin down. Genuinely dangerous specific grappling weapon: an excellent, very tight front-choke/anaconda finish that is close to fight-ending once secured. His overall grappling approach has shifted over his career from proactive to more opportunistic.
