The 33 year old orthodox veteran has built his entire UFC career on takedowns and the kind of persistent, grinding pressure that has controlled and worn down every opponent he has faced at 135 lbs.<\/p><p><strong>Strengths:<\/strong> Elite 4.66 takedown average at 41% accuracy. Solid 61% striking defense. His 76% takedown defense neutralizes Yanez&rsquo;s 0% takedown average entirely, removing any wrestling counter Yanez might use. His 22-7 record against elite bantamweight competition reflects a fighter with deep championship-level experience.<\/p><p><strong>Weaknesses:<\/strong> His 3.04 significant strikes per minute is the lower offensive output. His 3.85 strikes absorbed per minute against Yanez&rsquo;s 6.23 strikes per minute output creates compounding damage in every round the fight stays on the feet.<\/p><p><strong>Betting Angles:<\/strong> Simon by Decision (<a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-FanDuel-sports-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>+125<\/a>) is our primary play, offering plus money on a fighter whose wrestling volume and defensive output builds scorecards across three rounds.

The 32 year old orthodox American has built his UFC career on high significant strikes per minute and genuine knockout power that has produced stoppages against ranked bantamweight opposition throughout his time at 135 lbs.<\/p><p><strong>Strengths:<\/strong> Elite 6.23 significant strikes per minute. His 81% takedown defense is the strongest grappling suppression number in this bout. At 32 years old he remains in a competitive athletic window against a 33 year old opponent, and his finishing instincts at 135 lbs have been proven against UFC-level competition.<\/p><p><strong>Weaknesses:<\/strong> His 5.75 strikes absorbed per minute is the highest number in this matchup. This is a genuine liability against Simon&rsquo;s grinding takedown pressure. His 0.00 takedown average and 0% accuracy means he offers no wrestling alternative if Simon&rsquo;s takedown game finds a way through his 81% takedown defense. His 17-6 record against Simon&rsquo;s 22-7 reflects a meaningful experience gap at the elite bantamweight level.<\/p><p><strong>Betting Angles:<\/strong> Yanez by KO\/TKO (<a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-FanDuel-sports-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>+350<\/a>) is the most realistic upset path given his finishing power on the feet.

Even if Yanez suppresses a significant portion of Simon&rsquo;s wrestling entries, the volume and persistence of Simon&rsquo;s takedown attempts creates positional control across three rounds that disrupts Yanez&rsquo;s striking rhythm and builds consistent scorecards.<\/p><p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-FanDuel-sports-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>+125 <\/a>(implied 44.4%), we project this outcome closer to 38-42%, making it solid plus-money value on a veteran wrestler whose entire career is built on grinding out decisions against fighters with superior striking profiles.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Value Prop: Fight Goes Distance (<a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-betmgm-sportsbetting-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>-165<\/a>)<\/strong><\/h3><p>Simon&rsquo;s 61% striking defense limits the clean, damaging shots Yanez needs to produce a stoppage on the feet. His 4.66 takedown average disrupts Yanez&rsquo;s striking rhythm consistently enough to prevent the sustained output that finishes fights. Yanez&rsquo;s 0.3 submission average against Simon&rsquo;s 0.0 grappling offense on the mat limits Simon&rsquo;s own finishing path. Three rounds between a high-volume striker and a wrestling-heavy veteran tends to produce grinding scorecards rather than stoppages.<\/p><p>At<a

Yanez will make this genuinely dangerous. His 6.23 strikes per minute output and proven knockout power give him a legitimate path to a stoppage in any round the fight stays standing long enough for his volume to accumulate.<\/p><p>But 4.66 takedowns per 15 minutes at 41% accuracy against a 135 lb fighter with 0% wrestling offense creates positional disruption that compounds across three rounds regardless of takedown defense percentage. Simon&rsquo;s experience at the elite bantamweight level gives him the composure to keep imposing his game plan through the final horn. Simon moves to 23-7 with a decision that keeps him in the bantamweight contender conversation.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Watch UFC Seattle: Tips for This Card<\/strong><\/h2><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Card Tips:<\/strong><\/h3><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Yanez&rsquo;s 81% takedown defense against Simon&rsquo;s 4.66 takedown average is the defining matchup question.<\/li>\n<\/ul><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Stirling vs Lopes light heavyweight bout earlier in the prelims features the most lopsided finishing profile on the card, with an unbeaten prospect carrying elite striking volume against a fighter whose 100% takedown defense is the only meaningful path to disruption.<\/li>\n<\/ul><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Adesanya vs Pyfer closes the night at middleweight in a five-round technical contest between a former two-time champion and one of the division&rsquo;s most dangerous finishers.<\/li>\n<\/ul><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">UFC Seattle Fight Card<\/h2><p><strong>Main Card (05:00 p.m. ET &ndash;Paramout+)<\/strong><\/p><p>Israel Adesanya vs Joe Pyfer &mdash; Middleweight bout, 5 rounds<\/p><p>Alexa Grasso vs Maycee Barber &mdash; Women&rsquo;s Flyweight bout, 5 rounds<\/p><p>Michael Chiesa vs Niko Price &mdash; Welterweight bout, 3 rounds<\/p><p>Julian Erosa vs Lerryan Douglas &mdash; Featherweight bout, 3 rounds<\/p><p>Mansur Abdul-Malik vs Yousri Belgaroui &mdash; Middleweight bout, 3 rounds<\/p><p>Terrance McKinney vs Kyle Nelson &mdash; Lightweight bout, 3 rounds<\/p><p><strong>Prelims (02:00 p.m. ET &ndash; Paramount+)<\/strong><\/p><p>Ignacio Bahamondes vs Tofiq Musayev &mdash; Lightweight bout, 3 rounds<\/p><p>Chase Hooper vs Lance Gibson Jr. &mdash; Lightweight bout, 3 rounds<\/p><p>Marcin Tybura vs Tyrell Fortune &mdash; Heavyweight bout, 3 rounds<\/p><p>Casey O&rsquo;Neill vs Gabriella Fernandes &mdash; Women&rsquo;s Flyweight bout, 3 rounds<\/p><p>Navajo Stirling vs Bruno Lopes &mdash; Light Heavyweight bout, 3 rounds<\/p><p>Ricky Simon vs Adrian Yanez &mdash; Bantamweight bout, 3 rounds<\/p><p>Alexia Thainara vs Bruna Brasil &mdash; Women&rsquo;s Strawweight bout, 3 rounds<\/p><p><em>Odds current as of March 27, 2026.<\/em><\/p><p><strong>(Image Credit: Brett Davis &ndash; Imagn Images)<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-global mm-layout-slot4\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UFC Seattle&rsquo;s prelim card features a bantamweight clash between wrestling-heavy veteran Ricky Simon and explosive knockout artist Adrian Yanez.

I was instantly hooked on MMA after watching the fight between Lyoto Machida vs. Gegard Mousasi back in 2014, and since then, i have been an avid writer with a deep love for the sport and its techniques, providing readers with a thorough understanding of the sport. My favorite aspect of working at The Playoffs is the creative freedom it provides. The diverse range of topics, from listicles and SEO to news articles, keeps me engaged and motivates me to continuously improve my skills! I aim to capture the excitement of the combat sports world in my writing, acting as the middleman between fighters and their die-hard fans.
