Insider info
Cody Garbrandt favored — picked against Xiao Long lean UFC 326 · March 1, 2026
Calls it a genuine 50-50 fight and admits he'll likely end up disappointed, but sides with the former champion's superior boxing anyway.
A composed, patient boxer who works well in the pocket, picks his openings, and leans on a sharp jab paired with a favorite combination. He isn't on his opponent's level as a pure boxer, but his poise and durability keep him competitive on the feet even against better hands. He rounds his game out with solid takedowns, a liking for catching kicks, live scrambles, and a fast pace he's able to sustain across a full three rounds.
Gap-fill reads
Francesco Nuzzi favored — picked against Xiao Long lean Half The Battle · UFC Fight Night: Nurmagomedov vs. Song · August 27, 2026
The taller, longer man and the more experienced at this level, but the assessment is bluntly unimpressed. Output is rated as low, he offers little as a takedown threat, and his takedown defence is described as a clear weak point. His most recent result — widely seen as a win on the merits, lost on a point deduction — is used against him rather than for him: the argument is that beating an opponent at that stage of their career over three rounds, rather than stopping them early, is evidence of a limited ceiling. The overall verdict is a fighter with room to improve who is not a finished product and is being priced as something better than he has shown.
