Insider info
Manuel Torres favored over Rafael Fiziev clear UFC Fight Night: Fiziev vs Torres · June 21, 2026
Picked clearly -- the analyst states the pick plainly, backing his early-finish upside and the opponent's recent losing momentum as the deciding factors.
A good striker with real defensive lapses -- wide open to counters and generally unwilling to defend much, playing a genuinely kill-or-be-killed style. Comes forward fast with power shots, volume, and good kicks, looking to end fights in the opening seconds. Very good in the clinch, described as surprisingly deadly there -- not a classic clinch grappler, just bombing knees and elbows once he gets a hold. Decent grappling with powerful takedowns and the ability to stay active off his back, though the game plan here is almost entirely stand-and-trade, either in the clinch or at range.
