Insider info
Billy Quarantillo favored — picked against Diego Ferreira lean UFC Fight Night: Gamrot vs Salkilld · August 4, 2026
grapplinggood
Picked against, with the analyst noting he expects a high-paced scrambling battle rather than a clean win for either side.
Now built more around volume and power than the fuller toolkit he once had, effective moving forward or backward with heavy hands. The real strength is the grappling: more skilled in jiu-jitsu than most of his opposition, very active off his back, and dangerous once he scrambles to the back and locks it down. The risk is time spent stuck underneath losing minutes if the scramble doesn't come.
