Charles Radtke favored over Francisco Prado lean UFC 327 · April 5, 2026

Picked clearly to land the better strikes in what's expected to be a fun, back-and-forth striking fight given both men's durability and shaky defense.

Effective striker who marches forward with real pop, and against a defenseless opponent he should land at a high clip. His counter game is sharp too, headlined by a lead hook that's his best counter weapon. His own guard on the feet has gaps -- graded only a touch cleaner than his opponent's -- though he can absorb return fire without much trouble. On the ground he's the likely favorite: training alongside a teammate who's become a certified top name has visibly sharpened his skills there, even for a fighter who isn't primarily a grappler. He stays active hunting for better position on the floor and shows real instinct for submission openings.
