Insider info
Jake Collier favored over Chris Barnett clear UFC 279 · September 7, 2022
He calls the pick obvious and notes Collier is a heavy betting favorite, even while warning that close decisions have not gone his way with judges before.
Jake Collier holds a real size and reach edge in this fight and, per the analyst, sits at the top of the UFC heavyweight division's lower tier, capable of beating essentially anyone below true title contention. His résumé includes several split decisions that could easily have gone his way, suggesting he's been somewhat unlucky with judges rather than genuinely overmatched. The pick favors him clearly, with the main caution being that judges have historically not been kind to him if this one goes the distance.
