Marcin Tybura

Picked with real uncertainty voiced throughout, landing on the challenger's footwork and speed advantage moving up in weight.

An established heavyweight -- unlike his opponent, this isn't his UFC debut at the weight. Good grappler with good reactive takedowns, though the analyst is unsure how much of that translates fully to heavyweight, and good ground strikes if he gets on top. His clearest path is pushing the fight to the cage and taking advantage of a speed disadvantage against a naturally smaller man moving up.

Picked against, with the analyst noting he didn't look good in his last outing.

Not a technically polished striker, but functional -- his hands are mainly a tool for closing range, built around a persistent jab and enough pop behind it to matter, largely a product of fighting at heavyweight. The grappling is the stronger half of his game: he leans on cage control, constant top pressure, and simple grinding rather than flash. His ground and pound has some bite, though he typically waits until an opponent is gassed before hunting a finish there. Absent that, expect him to pin foes against the fence and wear down the clock on control time -- the formula that has carried him through this stage of his career. He was unimpressive in his most recent appearance.
