Rodolfo Bellato favored — picked against Luke Fernandez clear UFC 326 · March 1, 2026

Picks Fernandez fairly confidently as the more well-rounded of two similar games, while flagging Bellato's habit of surviving apparent finishes as the main wildcard.

An undefeated prospect making his UFC debut against a much more experienced opponent, running a game plan that closely mirrors his opponent's own style but executed with slightly more polish across the board. His signature weapon is a sneaky lead hook, backed by decent power, useful kicks, and good dirty boxing, though the grappling is where he's sharper: he presses opponents against the cage to set up takedowns and brings a real submission arsenal, but doesn't hold top position as cleanly as he'd like once he gets there. The flagged risk is that a lack of finishing instinct or a slow adjustment could let a notoriously hard-to-finish opponent survive and steal the result.

Strengthsneaky, effective lead hook
Strengthstrong cage-pressure grappling with a real submission arsenal
