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.

Uros Medic Shines At UFC Houston

Uros Medic extended his win streak by beating Geoff Neal via first-round knockout in the co-main event of UFC Houston on Saturday.

Dan Ige Gets Finished For The First Time In His Career

Dan Ige suffered a first-round TKO loss to surging Melquizael Costa on the main card of UFC Houston on Saturday. Ige landed an early takedown at the start of the first round, but it didn't take long for Costa to get back up. Just after the 10-second clacker hit, Costa landed a spinning back kick […]


Melquizael Costa Extends His Win Streak To Six

Melquizael Costa extended his win streak by defeating Dan Ige via first-round TKO on the main card of UFC Houston on Saturday.

Anthony Hernandez Set For UFC Houston Main Event

Anthony Hernandez will look to extend his win streak when he takes on former middleweight champion Sean Strickland in the main event of UFC Houston on Saturday. Since losing to Kevin Holland back in 2020, Hernandez has been on a tear, winning eight fights in a row. Hernandez was last seen in the Octagon in […]


Sean Strickland Looks To Get Back In The Win Column

Former middleweight champion Sean Strickland will look to get back in the win column when he takes on Anthony Hernandez in the main event of UFC Houston on Saturday.

Geoff Neal Looks To Get Back In The Win Column

Geoff Neal will look to get back in the win column when he faces off against Uros Medic in the co-main event of UFC Houston on Saturday. His résumé includes victories over established names in the division, including heavy-handed Vicente Luque and former lightweight champion Rafael Dos Anjos, but Neal hasn't been able to stay […]


Melquizael Costa A Favorite At UFC Houston

Surging Melquizael Costa will look to extend his win streak when he takes on extremely durable Dan Ige on the main card of UFC Houston on Saturday. Costa was last seen in the Octagon in December at UFC Vegas 112, where he extended his win streak by knocking out Morgan Charriere with a headkick. The […]


Dan Ige An Underdog At UFC Houston

Dan Ige will aim to get back in the win column when he faces off against surging Melquizael Costa on the main card of UFC Houston on Saturday. Ige was last seen in action in July at UFC 318, where he lost to Patrício Pitbull by unanimous decision. "50K" hasn't been able to find much […]


Vinicius Oliveira Suffers His First UFC Loss

Vinicius Oliveira suffered his first UFC loss after suffering a second-round submission loss to Mario Bautista in the main event of UFC Vegas 113 on Saturday. After getting outgrappled in the first round, Oliveira appeared to be gassed out in the second round. Bautista then pressured Oliveira even more, and after taking him down and […]


Mario Bautista Gets Back In The Win Column

Mario Bautista got back in the win column by defeating Vinicius Oliveira via second-round submission in the main event of UFC Vegas 113 on Saturday. Bautista was riding an eight-fight winning streak before his loss against Umar Nurmagomedov last October.

Kyoji Horiguchi Dominates At UFC Vegas 113

Former title challenger Kyoji Horiguchi extended his win streak by beating Amir Albazi via unanimous decision in the co-main event of UFC Vegas 113 on Saturday. Horiguchi had a dominant performance; he was too fast and too accurate for Albazi, who couldn't take him down and struggled to land damaging shots. He also hurt Albazi […]


Amir Albazi Gets Dominated At UFC Vegas 113

Amir Albazi suffered a unanimous decision loss to former title challenger Kyoji Horiguchi in the co-main event of UFC Vegas 113 on Saturday. As soon as the fight started, it was evident that Albazi was a step behind as Horihuchi was a faster and more accurate fighter. Albazi was even wobbled on a few occasions, […]


Rizvan Kuniev Earns His First UFC Win

Rizvan Kuniev secured his first win in the UFC by defeating Jailton Almeida via unanimous decision on the main card of UFC Vegas 113 on Saturday. It wasn't the most exciting fight as both Kuniev and Almeida took turns controlling the clinch, and as a result, the referee separated them on a few occasions. In […]


Jailton Almeida Drops Decision At UFC Vegas 113

Jailton Almeida suffered a unanimous decision loss to Rizvan Kuniev on the main card of UFC Vegas 113 on Saturday. Almeida was coming off a loss in a potential title eliminator against Alexander Volkov. And just like Almeida's last fight, this one was largely uneventful as well. For most of the fight, Almeida and Kuniev […]


Marc-Andre Barriault Loses Back-To-Back Fights

Marc-Andre Barriault suffered a unanimous-decision loss to Michal Oleksiejczuk on the main card of UFC Vegas 113 on Saturday. It was a back-and-forth fight, but Oleksiejczuk was the one who pushed the pace and landed cleaner punches. Despite taking some big shots, Barriault never stood toe to toe for all 15 minutes of the fight. […]


Michal Oleksiejczuk Gets His Third Win In A Row

Michal Oleksiejczuk extended his win streak by defeating Marc-Andre Barriault via unanimous decision on the main card of UFC Vegas 113 on Saturday. It was an exciting back-and-forth fight with Oleksiejczuk generally being on the front foot and more aggressive in his approach, though it wasn't easy as Barriault proved to be extremely tough. In […]


Vinicius Oliveira Looks For His Seventh Consecutive Win

Vinicius Oliveira will look to extend his win streak when he faces off against Mario Bautista in the main event of UFC Vegas 113 on Saturday. Since his third-round TKO loss to Ali Taleb back in 2022, Oliviera has been on a tear, going 6-0 in his last six fights. Oliveira last competed in July […]


Mario Bautista A Favorite At UFC Vegas 113

Mario Bautista will look to return to the win column when he takes on Vinicius Oliveira in the main event of UFC Vegas 113 on Saturday.

Kyoji Horiguchi Set For UFC Vegas 113 Co-Main Event

Former title challenger Kyoji Horiguchi will look to extend his win streak when he takes on Amir Albazi in the co-main event of UFC Vegas 113 on Saturday. After nine long years, former title challenger Horiguchi returned to the leading promotion in his last fight in November 2025 at UFC Qatar, where he extended his […]


Amir Albazi Looks To Bounce Back

Amir Albazi will look to get back in the win column when he faces off against Kyoji Horiguchi in the co-main event of UFC Vegas 113 on Saturday. Albazi last fought for the promotion back in November 2024 at UFC Edmonton, where he lost by unanimous decision to former two-time flyweight champion Brandon Moreno. Before […]


Rizvan Kuniev Looks For His First UFC Win

Rizvan Kuniev will look to get his first victory in the leading promotion when he faces off against Jailton Almeida on the main card of UFC Vegas 113 on Saturday. Kuniev made his promotional debut in his last fight in June at UFC Baku, where he lost via split decision to Curtis Blaydes. Prior to […]


Jailton Almeida Looks To Get Back In The Win Column

Jailton Almeida will look to bounce back in the win column when he takes on Rizvan Kuniev on the main card of UFC Vegas 113 on Saturday. Almeida was last seen in action in October at UFC 321, where he lost by a controversial split decision to Alexander Volkov. This is a short-notice fight for […]


Marc-Andre Barriault In Dire Need Of Victory

Marc-Andre Barriault will aim to get back in the win column when he takes on Michal Oleksiejczuk on the main card of UFC Vegas 113 on Saturday. It's safe to say that Barriault isn't as durable as he once was. Since 2024, Barriault has gone 1-4 in his last five fights and has suffered two […]


Michal Oleksiejczuk Looks For His Third Win In A Row

Michal Oleksiejczuk will look to extend his win streak when he faces off against Marc-Andre Barriault on the main card of UFC Vegas 113. After losing three fights in a row, Oleksiejczuk bounced back by finishing Sedriques Dumas via first-round TKO. Oleksiejczuk was last seen in action in August 2025 at UFC 319, where he […]


Diego Lopes Outclassed At UFC 325

Diego Lopes suffered a unanimous decision loss to Alexander Volkanovski in the main event of UFC 325 on Saturday. Lopes had his moments in the first three rounds, but it wasn't nearly enough to defeat Volkanovski, who used his well-rounded skillset to keep Lopes guessing, which left Lopes tentative and not as active as he […]


Alexander Volkanovski Dominates Diego Lopes

Alexander Volkanovski defended the featherweight title by defeating Diego Lopes via unanimous decision in the main event of UFC 325 on Saturday. Although it wasn't the most exciting fight, Volkanovski's jab and clinchwork were his best weapons as he dominated Lopes for most of the fight. The first fight between Volkanovski and Lopes this past […]


Dan Hooker Stopped In The Second Round

Fan-favorite Dan Hooker suffered a second-round TKO loss to Benoit Saint Denis in the co-main event of UFC 325 on Saturday. Hooker had some success with his striking, to be more specific, with the body kicks. Hooker also threatened Saint Denis with a guillotine choke in the second round, but other than that, Saint Denis […]


Benoit Saint Denis Extends His Win Streak

Benoit Saint Denis extended his win streak by beating Dan Hooker in the co-main event of UFC 325 on Saturday. Saint Denis was having trouble with Hooker on the feet, so he took the fight to the ground and did the most damage there. He first attempted to submit Hooker before deciding just to punish […]


Rafael Fiziev Suffers Second-Round TKO Loss

Rafael Fiziev suffered a second-round TKO loss to Mauricio Ruffy on the main card of UFC 325 on Saturday. Fiziev came out strong in the first round, landing leg kicks and applying pressure to Ruffy; however, Ruffy found his rhythm towards the end of the first round. Ruffy was doing much better than Fiziev in […]
