Vlasto Cepo favored — picked against Gilbert Urbina lean UFC Fight Night: Medic vs Rodriguez · July 26, 2026
strikingdecent grapplingdecent

Picked against despite being credited as the more skilled fighter, on the reasoning that his poor takedown defense and recent skid make him live to lose here.

A tall, long fighter who uses his length well with decent striking output, though his striking defense isn't good -- a common cost that comes with his height for the division. His grappling leans offensive, mixing in good-enough takedowns with strikes rather than choosing one or the other, but his takedown defense is a real problem defensively.
