Chris Gutierrez favored over Frankie Edgar clear UFC 281 · November 8, 2022
strikinggood

The analyst says outright that Gutierrez should get the win, treating age and recent finishes against Edgar as the deciding factors.

Gutierrez brings solid, drop-capable striking and a real weapon in his leg kicks, which have finished fights outright, plus a slight height edge in this matchup. His takedown defense is the clear soft spot — it's been exposed by wrestlers before — so the outcome likely comes down to whether he can keep the fight standing long enough to use that kicking game before getting put on the mat.
