Gokhan Saricam favored — picked against Tanner Boser lean UFC Fight Night: Burns vs Malott · April 12, 2026

grapplingdecent
Picked against, with the analyst crediting a real chance to outlast the opponent or catch him during a specific bad habit.
An adequate striker whose power is fine but unremarkable, though his kicks carry a bit more force than typical and he's willing to throw them upstairs. He moves well for a big man, staying light-footed rather than plodding. Durability is a real strength -- the one time he was stopped is generally chalked up to an early, questionable stoppage rather than proof he can actually be finished. His grappling is solid enough -- he can land takedowns that hold up fine, pushes well against the cage, and can grind an opponent down there. His likeliest route to a win is wearing the opponent down over time, or capitalizing on a habit his opponent has of glancing away right before throwing.

Weaknesspower and grappling are both fine but unremarkable on their own
