Gable Steveson favored over Elisha Ellison clear UFC 329 · July 5, 2026
grapplingelite

Picked with real confidence -- the analyst says he feels pretty darn confident, noting the significant betting favoritism, while flagging he'd be surprised if fans are satisfied unless it ends quickly.

An MMA record of just 3-0, unusually thin experience to be reaching this level of competition, with one known dirty-boxing bout the analyst has seen. His defining trait is elite wrestling -- very good takedowns and genuinely excellent top pressure, either grinding heavily or, more dangerously, floating from position to position and dropping heavy strikes once he beats the opponent to the next spot.

Strengthelite wrestling and takedowns
Strengthgenuinely excellent top pressure, both grinding and position-floating styles
Strengthheavy ground strikes once he settles into position
Weaknessextremely limited MMA experience at only three professional fights
Weaknesslittle shown outside the wrestling and top game so far
