Louie Sutherland favored — picked against Jose Montanha lean UFC Fight Night: Gamrot vs Salkilld · August 4, 2026
grapplinggood

Picked against directly, with the analyst saying he would be relieved if the opponent pulls guard because it would validate the pick.

A jiu-jitsu-based heavyweight whose whole case depends on avoiding one specific habit. The grappling itself is good -- advances position well, strong top pressure, real submission arsenal -- but he is prone to pulling guard, which the analyst calls a losing proposition at UFC heavyweight even though it has worked on the regional scene. Decent power and a good overhand-into-takedown are the standing tools.

Strengthgood overhand that doubles as a takedown setup

Weaknessprone to pulling guard, which the analyst calls a clear losing habit at this level against a bigger man on top
