Command Analysis

Sodiq Yusuff

Current form

Sodik Yusuff is like a Nigerian hawk that hasn't been out hunting for a year. He was last seen in May 2024, when Diego Lopez turned off his light with an early finish. Before that, he staged an epic fight with Edson Barbosa, losing on points, but earning a bonus for the best fight of the evening. Even earlier, Arnold Allen beat 33-year-old Yusuff by decision. In the UFC, Sodik has a record of six wins and three losses, but the top 15 lightweight is still like an impregnable fortress for him.

Mairon Santos

Current form

Myron Santos is like a Brazilian comet who burst into the UFC with a bright flash. In March 2025, he scored a controversial decision victory over Francis Marshall, which caused a storm of discussion. Before that, he lit up in The Ultimate Fighter, knocking out Australian Kaan Ofli in the first round. The only blemish in the 24-year—old Brazilian's career is his defeat in 2022 by Dan Argueta (TKO, third round), who has already hung up his gloves. Santos has 15 wins (eight by knockout, seven by decision) and no defeats in the UFC. He is still in the shadow of the rating, but the UFC is clearly checking what kind of dough he is made of, and at the same time testing Yusuff.

Tip and bets

TipYusuff's victory
1.94

The bookmakers are slightly leaning towards Santos, but you shouldn't write off Yusuff. This is a clean stand — none of them rushes to the stalls like a cat to mice. He is as technical as a chess player, with precise strokes and experience in the UFC. Santos is dangerous: Offley's knockout showed that his fists are not toys. Offley wasn't the toughest nut to crack, and his downfall was more about him than about Myron's might. Yusuff is like an old fox who knows how to get around traps. He will keep his distance, aim for the Brazilian's jaw and avoid the exchanges where Santos can catch. We are not waiting for a spectacular meat grinder — both will wait, but Sodik's experience and cunning should prevail. 

Our betting tip is that Yusuff will win in 1.94
