Kevin Vallejos favored over Josh Emmett clear UFC Fight Night: Emmett vs Vallejos · March 8, 2026
Backs the younger fighter's momentum and well-rounded skill set to build an early lead, with the main uncertainty being whether he can sustain it into the late rounds against a savvy veteran.
Vallejos brings a genuinely hard-to-read striking mix, blending combinations and single shots across all levels in a way that makes it tough for an opponent to time counters. He's light on his feet, works the body well, keeps good volume, and can kick effectively off either leg, and he should be the faster fighter in exchanges. His grappling is secondary but functional, since he often looks to convert a caught kick straight into either a takedown or a follow-up cross, and while his takedown defense is solid, his top control isn't a major weapon.
