Insider info
Michal Oleksiejczuk favored over Marc-Andre Barriault clear UFC Fight Night: Bautista vs Oliveira · February 1, 2026
The analyst calls him the obvious pick based on recent form, though he expects this fight to end violently for one side or the other.
Oleksiejczuk fights with heavy forward pressure and real thump on his body shots, to the point that a clean landing could end things outright. The catch is that he's not entirely comfortable being pressured back himself and can run into trouble against the cage in that scenario. His takedown defense isn't great either, though he's capable of mixing in his own takedowns when he chooses to, even if he clearly prefers to keep the fight standing.
