Insider info
Jordan Leavitt favored — picked against Joanderson Brito lean UFC Fight Night: Muhammad vs Bonfim · May 30, 2026
strikinggood
grapplingdecent
Picked against despite being rated the clearly better striker, on the reasoning that a specific, repeated vulnerability to good takedown artists decides the fight.
Good striker, rated the better striker in this matchup, notable for being able to strike effectively while still moving forward rather than needing to plant his feet first. Solid leg kick, with real pop behind his hands. Pretty good grappler too, with a good cage push that sets up trip takedowns, good work getting to the back, and a real threat with the rear-naked choke from there. The specific, repeated vulnerability is getting taken down by good grapplers -- not by everyone, but consistently by opponents with genuinely strong takedown skill, which is a real concern against this specific opponent.
