Bilal Hasan favored — picked against Nilson Rojas lean UFC Fight Night: Nurmagomedov vs. Song · August 19, 2026
strikinggood

Named as live underdog territory since nobody has seen how he responds to real adversity, a genuinely uncertain rather than dismissive read.

An undefeated debutant walking straight into a tough first assignment, with real forward pressure and pocket work but a ground game that's mostly unproven on tape.

Strengthpressures forward consistently and works the body well
Strengthdangerous in tight exchanges with knees and elbows mixed into combinations
Strengthgood takedown defense, sprawls effectively and returns to his feet
Weaknessoffensive grappling largely unshown, hard to grade either way

Bilal Hasan favored — picked against Nilson Rojas clear agrees with 138 MMA Half The Battle · UFC Fight Night: Nurmagomedov vs. Song · August 27, 2026

Undefeated and making his UFC debut, characterised as a durable, willing fighter who is expected to walk forward and trade rather than look for a way to avoid the exchange. The expectation is that he backs himself to land something on a faster opponent, and the risk in that plan is stated plainly: it plays directly into the more polished striker's strengths.

Strengthundefeated entering the UFC
Weaknessgame plan of trading plays into a notably faster, sharper striker
