Denis Tiuliulin favored — picked against Jamie Pickett lean UFC 279 · September 7, 2022
grapplingsolid

He picks the underdog specifically because of a stylistic clash: forward pressure and power beating a clinch-reliant fighter who likely won't get to impose his preferred style.

Jamie Pickett is a fighter of extremes — dominant when he gets to dictate the pace from the clinch against the cage, where his control has carried him to lopsided wins, but vulnerable when denied that game plan. Against a forward-pressuring opponent who has little interest in grappling, the analyst doesn't expect Pickett to get to impose that preferred style, and his lower output at range becomes a liability. His reach edge is noted as unlikely to matter much since he isn't expected to fight this one at distance.
