Benardo Sopaj favored — picked against Timmy Cuamba lean UFC Fight Night: Allen vs Costa · May 10, 2026
strikinggood grapplingdecent

Picked against in a fight the analyst still calls competitive.

Skilled striker whose signature tool is the body kick -- he leans on it repeatedly until it starts landing, then branches out into other levels and targets; he'll also mix in a leg kick now and then as a default strike during lulls in the action. Quick one-two combination, bounces back fast when rocked. Capable grappler who can get takedowns and return the fight to the mat repeatedly, aided by strong cardio, though keeping opponents pinned once grounded has been an issue, which could matter a lot here.
