Vinicius Oliveira favored over Andre Fili lean UFC Fight Night: Kape vs Horiguchi · June 16, 2026
grapplinggood strikingvery good

Picked with a real caveat -- the analyst credits the opponent with a genuine chance to win rounds but says more often than not he expects this side to get it done.

Moving up to featherweight after a clear bantamweight loss to a strong opponent. Good grappler with decent takedowns, nasty ground and pound, and a good submission arsenal.

Mario Bautista favored — picked against Vinicius Oliveira clear UFC Fight Night: Bautista vs Oliveira · February 1, 2026 · 1 read since
strikingvery good grapplinggood

The analyst gives Oliveira real finishing upside but expects Bautista's volume and durability to wear him down over five rounds.

Oliveira is credited with a genuinely awkward, dynamic standup style that's hard to prepare for -- heavy power, dangerous leg kicks, and low hands that make him tough to hit cleanly even though they leave his face more open than most. His grappling is a real weapon too, with vicious ground-and-pound and a solid submission arsenal, but the analyst expects him to lean on his striking as the primary path to victory rather than force the grappling.
