Insider info

1 analyst read · 138 MMA · our paraphrase, never his words
Josh Fremd favored over Tresean Gore clear UFC Fight Night: Kattar vs Allen · October 26, 2022
grapplingsolid

He estimates Fremd wins this matchup roughly nine times out of ten, pointing to a size edge and a much more well-rounded skill set.

Fremd holds a real size and reach advantage here and, while he can be hit and has been dropped before, he keeps coming forward and brings solid, functional grappling to go with striking that's good enough to get the job done. Against an opponent who offers little beyond one big weapon, that combination of activity and well-roundedness is expected to be decisive. The read treats this as a lopsided matchup on paper despite the size gap not always working in the bigger man's favor in MMA.
