Insider info
Gilbert Burns favored — picked against Mike Malott lean UFC Fight Night: Burns vs Malott · April 12, 2026
Picked against as part of an explicit big-underdog upset call for the opponent, though the analyst credits real range control as his best path.
A skilled striker who's particularly good at dictating the tempo of a fight through his stand-up alone. Oddly enough, given how well he manages range and counters, he still absorbs more strikes than you'd expect. He hits with good power, throws a good leg kick, and blends his hands and kicks together smoothly. His grappling is solid too -- strong takedown defense and submissions he attacks quickly and sneakily once the opportunity appears. He should look to keep this fight standing, since taking it to the mat against this particular opponent would be unwise; his best route to a win is controlling distance on the feet.
