Gaston Balanos favored — picked against JeongYeong Lee clear UFC 326 · March 1, 2026

Sides fairly directly with Lee as the presumed favorite, treating his all-around game as the deciding edge.

A skilled, well-rounded striker who genuinely enjoys brawling, sometimes to his own detriment, but who can also shift into a much more disciplined, technical mode where he's competitive with almost anyone standing thanks to quick combinations, real power, and good body work. He isn't usually the one initiating grappling exchanges, preferring to follow opponents to the floor after hurting them, but once there he brings sharp ground-and-pound and a fast-closing armbar if the position flips.
