Insider info
Ottman Azaitar favored — picked against Matt Frevola lean UFC 281 · November 8, 2022
wrestlinggood
The analyst treats Frevola as a live underdog with a real path via wrestling, but favors his opponent's power overall without much conviction.
Frevola's best path runs through his wrestling and grappling, using volume and forward pressure on the feet to set up entries rather than trying to simply outstrike a heavy hitter. The bigger concern is durability — both of his UFC losses have come by knockout, and if he can't get the fight to the mat early, a single clean shot from a power puncher is a real live danger.
