I’ve been immersed in the world of mixed martial arts since 2008, following the sport’s evolution from older style-versus-style matchups to today’s high-level competition. My journey goes beyond fandom as I’ve been training MMA since 2013. I got my black belt in Shotokan karate back in 2010, while also training in Muay Thai and kickboxing for three years before transitioning fully into MMA in 2013. Having competed as an amateur fighter, I bring firsthand experience of what it takes to perform inside the cage, which helps me break down fighters’ skills and strategies with depth. I specialize in analyzing striking metrics, grappling efficiency and fighter tendencies to give readers an edge in their fantasy lineups and betting strategies. I’ve been writing about MMA and fantasy sports for over five years, combining analytical rigor and combat sports storytelling with real-world fight experience. Before MMA, I honed my competitive instincts through fantasy soccer, learning how to interpret data to predict performance. My work focuses on delivering evidence-based analysis that helps fans and fantasy players make smarter, more confident decisions. You can follow my latest fight breakdowns, predictions, and analysis threads on X @sumpor5.

Charles Radtke Dominates Daniel Frunza

On Saturday, Charles Radtke got back in the win column by defeating Daniel Frunza via third-round submission on the main card of UFC Vegas 110. Radtke had a dominant performance from start to finish, and after ragdolling and outwrestling Frunza, Radtke sank in a rear-naked choke in the third round, forcing Frunza to submit. In […]


Allan Nascimento Gets Submission Win

Allan Nascimento extended his win streak by submitting Cody Durden on the UFC Vegas 110 main card opener on Saturday. It took Nascimento some time to get going, but he found his rhythm in the second round, and he hurt Durden with a sneaky counter elbow. After Durden's failed takedown attempt, Nascimento sank in an […]


Cody Durden Suffers Second-Round Submission Loss

Cody Durden lost his third fight in a row on Saturday when he took on Allan Nascimento on the UFC Vegas 110 main card opener. Durden accepted this fight on a week's notice as a last-minute replacement against Nascimento, so he came out swinging in the opening round, giving no respect to Nascimento. However, things […]


David Onama - UFC DFS Picks, MMA DFS Lineups

DraftKings MMA, UFC DFS Lineup Picks - UFC Vegas 110: Garcia vs. Onama

Last week's UFC 321 was supposed to be a great card; however, it turned out to be extremely disappointing, especially the main card and the main event between Tom Aspinall and Ciryl Gane. But now, we're back at the Apex for UFC Vegas 110 fight card, which on paper doesn't look that good because it […]


David Onama Set For UFC Vegas 110 Main Event

Surging featherweights David Onama and Steve Garcia are scheduled for a five-round main event of UFC Vegas 110 on Saturday. Known for never being in a boring fight, Onana has gone 6-2 since signing with the UFC back in 2021. Just like his opponent Garcia, Onama has been on a tear, winning four consecutive fights. […]


Steve Garcia Returns At UFC Vegas 110

Steve Garcia will look to extend his win streak when he takes on David Onama in the main event of UFC Vegas 110 on Saturday. Since suffering a first-round knockout loss to Maheshate back in 2022, Garcia has been on a tear, winning six fights in a row. Out of those six fights, he finished […]


Waldo Cortes-Acosta Set For Co-Main Event

Waldo Cortes-Acosta will look to get back in the win column when he takes on Ante Delija in the co-main event of UFC Vegas 110 on Saturday.

Ante Delija In Search For His Second UFC Win

Former PFL champion Ante Delija is scheduled to face off against Waldo Cortes-Acosta in the co-main event of UFC Vegas 110 on Saturday.

Themba Gorimbo A Favorite At UFC Vegas 110

Themba Gorimbo will look to bounce back in the win column when he takes on Jeremiah Wells on the main card of UFC Vegas 110 on Saturday.

Jeremiah Wells Looks To Return To The Win Column

Jeremiah Wells will look to get back in the win column when he faces off against Themba Gorimbo on the main card of UFC Vegas 110 on Saturday. Wells is in dire need of a win as he is on a two-fight skid, having suffered a third-round submission loss to Carlston Harris and dropping a […]


Yadier del Valle Looks To Remain Undefeated

Yadier del Valle will look to remain unbeaten when he takes on Isaac Dulgarian on the UFC Vegas 110 main card on Saturday.

Isaac Dulgarian Looks To Win Back-To-Back Fights

Isaac Dulgarian will look to win back-to-back fights when he takes on Yadier del Valle on the main card of UFC Vegas 110 on Saturday.

Daniel Frunza Looks For His First UFC Win

Daniel Frunza will look for his first UFC win when he takes on Charles Radtke on the main card of UFC Vegas 110 on Saturday.

Cody Durden In Dire Need Of Victory

Cody Durden will look to get back in the win column when he faces off against Allan Nascimento on the UFC Vegas 110 main card opener on Saturday. Durden steps up as a late replacement after Rafael Estevam was forced to pull out of the fight. The 34-year-old Durden is currently in a tough spot […]


Ciryl Gane's Fight With Tom Aspinall Ends In No-Contest

The main event of UFC 321 between Ciryl Gane and Tom Aspinall ended in a disappointing no-contest after Gane poked Aspinall in both of his eyes, after which Aspinall was unable to continue. The fight was competitive up until that point, and most people argue that Gane won the opening round. After a disappointing ending […]


Tom Aspinall Vs. Ciryl Gane Ends in No-Contest

UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall had his first title defense, but the fight was ruled a no-contest following a brutal double eye-poke suffered by Aspinall with just 25 seconds left in the first round. It was a competitive fight up until Cyril Gane poked Aspinall in both of his eyes. Dana White confirmed we're going […]


Virna Jandiroba Suffers Unanimous-Decision Loss

Virna Jandiroba wasn't able to capture the strawweight title as she dropped a unanimous decision to Mackenzie Dern in the co-main event of UFC 321 on Saturday. It was a close, back-and-forth fight where Jandiroba managed to take Dern down time and time again, but was unable to mount any meaningful offense, and that's the […]


Mackenzie Dern Wins Vacant Strawweight Title

Mackenzie Dern became the new strawweight champion by defeating Virna Jandiroba via unanimous decision in the co-main event of UFC 321 on Saturday. It was a back-and-forth fight but it was Dern's striking on the feet and on the ground that won her the fight. In the end, the judges scored the fight 48-47, 48-47 […]


Mario Bautista Gets Outclassed

Mario Bautista dropped a unanimous decision to former bantamweight title challenger Umar Nurmagomedov on the main card of UFC 321 on Saturday. Bautista had his moments, like when he almost submitted Nurmagomedov in the first round or when he knocked him down in the second round, but other than that, he was outclassed for the […]


Umar Nurmagomedov Gets Back In The Win Column

Former bantamweight title challenger Umar Nurmagomedov got back in the win column by beating Mario Bautista by unanimous decision on the main card of UFC 321. The fight was Nurmagomedov's first since Dvalishvili defeated him via unanimous decision in a close fight.

Jailton Almeida Drops Decision

Jailton Almeida suffered a split decision loss to Alexander Volkov on the main card of UFC 321 on Saturday.

Alexander Volkov Wins Split Decision At UFC 321

Alexander Volkov got back in the win column by defeating Jailton Almeida by split decision on the main card of UFC 321 on Saturday.

Undefeated Azamat Murzakanov extended his win streak by beating Aleksandar Rakic via first-round TKO on the UFC 321 main card opener on Saturday.

Tom Aspinall - MMA DFS Picks, UFC DFS Lineups

DraftKings MMA, UFC DFS Lineup Picks - UFC 321: Aspinall vs. Gane

With Jon Jones out of the picture and Francis Ngannou not being an option ever since he joined the PFL, UFC's heavyweight division has been kind of weak, or I should say weaker than it usually is. But now the new champion, Tom Aspinall, is set to defend his undisputed title for the first time […]


Ciryl Gane Scheduled For A Title Fight

Former interim heavyweight champion Ciryl Gane will look to become the new heavyweight champion when he takes on undisputed heavyweight king Tom Aspinall in the main event of UFC 321 on Saturday.

Tom Aspinall Set for First Official Title Defense

Heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall will look to extend his win streak when he takes on former interim heavyweight champion Ciryl Gane in the main event of UFC 321 on Saturday.

Mackenzie Dern Can Become The New Strawweight Champion

On Saturday, Mackenzie Dern will look to become the new strawweight champion when she faces off against Virna Jandiroba in the co-main event of UFC 321.
