Watch UFC FightNight Garcia vs. Onama 11/1/25 - 1st November 2025 Full Show Online HD:
Preview:
Garcia is the sharper striker here, but I’m not sure he’s the more powerful one. Onama can absolutely crack, so Garcia has to keep his volume and aggression under control in the early goings of the fight. He doesn’t need to take huge chances early, not when he’s more likely to build momentum as the fight wears on. I’m not saying he should be passive, but there’s no need to jump into the fray needlessly at the first bell. Instead, Garcia should look to win the distance battle. He’s actually the slightly longer and taller striker, and he can take advantage of those traits with straight punches and power kicks. Garcia may be less explosive than Onama, but he’s better at building combinations and shifting into big swings. If he keeps an extra step between them for the first round or two, he’ll be able to gain a read on Onama’s speed a little more easily while still landing his own offense.
Onama is a physical force at 145 pounds. Nearly as tall and long as Garcia, but quite a bit more muscled, Onama has proven himself hard to stop both on the feet and the canvas. He’s not a perfect technician in any area — “Silent Assassin” has only been a professional since 2019 compared to Garcia’s 2013 — but he’s definitely a quick learner with plenty of talent. Onama has to knockout — or at least badly hurt — Garcia to win this fight. There’s a line of thinking that argues he can wrestle Garcia like he did to Giga Chikadze, but that’s an idea likely to backfire. Garcia is not a kickboxer transitioning to mixed martial arts (MMA) — he knows how to cage wreste and scramble well enough that Onama would more than likely fatigue himself trying to hold down “Mean Machine.”
