Insider info
Murtazali Magomedov favored — picked against Melsik Baghdasaryan clear UFC Fight Night: Kape vs Horiguchi · June 16, 2026
Picked against clearly -- the analyst says the opponent should win this pretty comfortably, with the only real caveat being recent injury layoffs.
A super solid striker rated among the better strikers in the featherweight division outside the true elite -- very nasty leg kicks and kicks generally, very good footwork, good counters, and good combinations that mix punches and kicks extremely well; can also clinch and trip from there. Grappling is clearly behind the striking -- a good open-mat sprawl, but takedown defense specifically against the cage is a real, exploitable gap.
