Insider info
Raoni Barcelos favored over Montel Jackson lean UFC Fight Night: Sterling vs Zalal · April 19, 2026
strikingsolid
grapplinggood
Picked to win the overall minutes, with the analyst crediting real knockout risk to the opponent but favoring output over the course of the fight.
A solid striker who chains punches and kicks together effectively, often finishing combinations with a strong leg kick. He carries surprising power for his frame given he's giving up size here, and he can genuinely hurt opponents with strikes from both hands and feet. His grappling is solid as well, and he's probably the better grappler in this pairing -- he enters takedowns well, scrambles at a high level, is difficult to bring down, and hasn't spent much time on the mat even in the rare instances he has been taken down. His submission game is well-rounded and dangerous.
