Insider info
Elijah Smith favored — picked against SuYoung You lean UFC Fight Night: Emmett vs Vallejos · March 8, 2026
Explicitly says this is far from a lock, leaning toward Smith mainly on the strength of his boxing and his ability to stuff takedowns.
You is a decent striker with good power and movement, including solid head movement, but he tends to throw single shots that leave him open to counters, meaning the striking here is more of a setup tool than the focus. His real strength is the grappling, with good takedowns he stays persistent on for second attempts, strong transitions, a good ability to take the back, and solid scrambling where he floats from position to position on top. The open question is whether he can actually impose that grappling offensively against Smith or ends up playing defense and looking for scrambles instead.
