Analysis:

While Sean Strickland is more well-known than his opponent, it is Anthony Hernandez who is the clear favourite heading into the bout this weekend. In nine of his past 11 fights, Hernandez has gone the entire distance and will be looking to outlast Strickland with his impeccable grappling ability around the mat.

On the other hand, Strickland will look to finish the fight early and will lean on his superb striking as he looks to get back on the winning trail after multiple losses in recent memory – the last one coming at the hands of South African Driscus Du Plessis.

Geoff Neal vs Uros Medic

Career Records:

Neal – 16-7 (10 wins by KO/TKO)

Medic – 12-3 (10 wins by KO/TKO)

Last Bouts: 

Neal def by Prates – KO (spinning back elbow) – UFC 319

Medic def Salikhov – TKO (punches) – UFC Fight Night: Bonfim vs Brown

Analysis:

In the co-main event of UFC Fight Night 267, Geoff Neal will take on Uros Medic in the UFC Welterweight division. Neal is the early favourite for the bout; he has lost three out of his last four, while Medic has done the total opposite and won three out of his last four fights.

Medic also has the advantage when it comes to averaging more strikes per minute, a better striking accuracy and absorbing more blows than the more experienced fighter in Neal. While the fight could technically go either way, Medic should not be countered out.

Ige – 19-10 (7 wins by KO/TKO)

Costa def Charriere – TKO (headkick) – UFC Fight Night

Analysis:

Dan Ige has been a familiar face in the Featherweight division for a long time and is predominantly known for his amazing power which has seen him win seven matches by knockout and produce some remarkable finishes over the years.

Meanwhile, Melquizael Costa is coming off an incredible 2025 campaign which saw him win four entertaining and high-quality victories in the Octagon. Not only is he a great kickboxer, as evidenced by his past fight where he secured a knockout victory, but he also has an underrated grappling and wrestling game.

Serghei Spivac vs Ante Delija

Career Records:

Spivac – 17-6 (7 wins by KO/TKO)

Delija – 26-7 (13 wins by KO/TKO)

Last Bouts: 

Spivac def by Acosta – Decision (unanimous) – UFC 316

Delija def by Acosta – KO (punches) – UFC Fight Night: Garcia vs Onama

Analysis:

Both fighters, Serghei Spivac and Ante Delija, enter the Octagon this weekend on losing form, with the former dropping his last two bouts and the latter losing his last one to the same opponent via KO/TKO. They are also quite different in their skills, with Spivac being more technical and his opponent possessing more raw power.

While Spivac has shown his potential in the past by taking out unranked fighters, it is a different story when it comes to the better fighters in the promotion, and he struggles. Don’t be surprised if he finds himself being knocked out by Ante Delija to end the fight.

Zachary Reese vs Michel Pereira

Career Records:

Reese – 10-2 (1) (5 wins by KO/TKO)

Pereira – 31-14 (2) (11 wins by KO/TKO)

Last Bouts: 

Reese def McVey – Submission (rear-naked choke) – UFC Fight Night: Bonfim vs Brown

Pereira def by Daukas – KO (punches and elbows) – UFC Fight Night: Walker vs Zhang

Analysis:

The first fight on the UFC Fight Night 267 main card will see Zachary Reese take on the experienced veteran, Michel Pereira. While Pereira enters the octagon as the favourite, the better option is his opponent, who has a 5-2 record in the UFC since joining the promotion after going 5-0 on the independent circuit.

Not only has Pereira been in abysmal form, having lost his past three fights in the UFC, but Reese has the clear advantage the longer the bout goes with his grappling technique and ability. Reese has taken down his opponents at a 66 per cent accuracy and will lead into this strategy on the weekend.
