Insider info
Chase Hooper favored — picked against Lance Gibson Jr. lean UFC Fight Night: Adesanya vs Pyfer · March 22, 2026
Picked against, with the analyst calling it a huge mistake for him to want to take this fight to the mat given the opponent's bottom-game danger.
Kicks are his best striking tool, with both the front kick and leg kick rated well, plus modest power to go with them. He leans more heavily on grappling, though, coming primarily from a wrestling background. He lands takedowns consistently and is skilled at returning opponents to the mat -- a distinct habit of his is holding a secured takedown and letting the opponent nearly stand back up before dragging them right back down, instead of hunting fresh entries. He's also strong at taking the back, landing real damage with ground strikes specifically while an opponent tries to scramble back to their feet.
