Jesus Aguilar favored over Sumudaerji lean UFC 326 · March 1, 2026

Backs the live underdog on the strength of a signature finishing weapon, while admitting he might be missing something in taking the number.

His standing game is functional rather than special, with decent forward pressure and power shots that leave him open to counters, flagged as his likeliest way to lose the fight. The separator is his grappling, particularly a genuinely elite guillotine that he's built a real specialty around; despite not having classically long arms for chokes, his shorter frame actually helps him lock the choke down tight once he secures it. Backed by solid takedown volume and scrambling, he's viewed as a live threat purely on the strength of one finishing sequence.
