Murtazali Magomedov favored over Melsik Baghdasaryan clear UFC Fight Night: Kape vs Horiguchi · June 16, 2026
strikinggood grapplingsolid

Picked clearly, with the analyst saying he should win this pretty comfortably given a two-way path -- either striking or exploiting the opponent's cage-takedown-defense gap.

Undefeated at 10-0, having previously dominated a well-regarded Contender Series opponent in a performance the analyst rates highly. Better grappler than striker overall, but can genuinely strike -- good power, good knees, good dirty boxing. Solid grappler whose takedowns are good, top pressure is very good, and who stays safe while grappling; his submission defense is good, ground and pound is good, and he carries a very good submission arsenal on top of it all. The analyst frames his path here as two-way: real success on the feet is possible, but he can always fall back on taking the fight to the mat given a specific, exploitable gap in the opponent's cage-takedown defense.
