Insider info
Chris Padilla favored — picked against Nasrat Haqparast lean UFC Fight Night: Hernandez vs. Rodrigues · August 17, 2026
strikinggood
Credits Haqparast with likely landing more volume overall but still favors the opponent, a hedged rather than confident framing.
Expected to be the busier, faster striker of the two, mixing forward pressure with countering, but his grappling is mostly clinch-based rather than a real takedown threat.
Strengthgood body work and fast hands, likely the quicker striker here
Strengthcomfortable countering while advancing
Weaknessrarely wrestles offensively away from the cage
Weaknessgrappling exchanges lean on clinch work rather than real takedown attempts
Nasrat Haqparast favored over John Makdessi lean UFC Paris · August 29, 2022 · 1 read since
He calls it the slightest sliver of confidence, noting he's flip-flopped on this pick multiple times already and could easily change again before fight night.
Haqparast's recent record undersells him — his losses in that stretch have all come against legitimate top-tier competition, and the analyst thinks he's performed better than the numbers suggest. He brings good pressure and cardio, though he faded late in a recent fight, which the analyst chalks up to absorbed damage rather than a gas-tank problem. There's real concern that the cumulative toll of tough fights could eventually catch up with him, but he gets a narrow nod for now.
Strengthgood pressure and cardio
Strengthrecent losses have come only against legitimate top-level competition
Weaknesshas faded late after absorbing damage in recent fights
Weaknessaccumulated damage that could catch up with him over time
