Insider info
Cristian Quiñonez favored — picked against Khalid Taha clear UFC Paris · August 29, 2022
He argues Quinonez is simply the more well-rounded fighter and currently the one on a hot streak, while Taha looks worn down and is fighting to save his roster spot.
Taha came into the UFC with real hype but hasn't lived up to it, and the analyst thinks the accumulated toll of his losing stretch has left little in the tank. He's essentially fighting for his job here against a short-notice replacement. The read is that there isn't much left to work with, standing or on the ground, after this kind of skid.

Weaknesson an extended UFC losing skid, fighting to keep his roster spot
