The UFC Houston UNDEFEATED Post-Weigh In Show

February 21, 2026·1 hr 8 min·5 clips

Why Jordan Leavitt's underrated grappling could upset Yadier Davali as a plus 320 underdog.

The room opens cold and wired. From the first minute, the host treats UFC Houston like a post-weigh-in audit, where tape notes get shoved up against visible health, height, faceoff reads, and mental edge. This is betting-card triage. The Monday breakdown already handled the full card, so this pass is about what changes once the fighters hit the scale and stand in front of each other. The method is loose because that is the point. Staph checks, limps, fake height claims, staredown edges, and current odds all count as clues if they move the needle. Jocelyn Edwards turns into the spicy one. The host expects her to wear her opponent down, lean into grappling, take the back, and chase a rear naked choke before the judges get involved. That plus 700 submission prop keeps pulling at him. He does not sell it as a lock, but he makes the long shot sound like exactly the kind of bad idea bettors understand. Then Alden Coria and Louis Gurule take over, and the fight gets stripped down to striker versus broader, desperate grappler. Coria is the side he prefers. He likes the movement, the finishing instincts, and the volume, even if Coria is not framed as a huge puncher. Gurule still has a real path. He is 0-2 in the UFC and fighting for his job, which gives the pick a nasty little career-pressure wrinkle. The odds do some talking too: Coria is the heavy favorite, Gurule has the plus-money tag, and the host uses that gap to explain why the play can feel right and still make him sweat. The late card never settles down. He leans toward tailing Sergey Spivak at plus 115 with a submission prop, leans Milky Costa and the over while hating the fight, likes Jeff Neal under one and a half or by knockout, rides with Fluffy, and hate-watches Sean Strickland while rooting for the gimmick to end.

As heard by us

Late fight-week reads and betting angles shape the card.

This UFC Houston post-weigh-in show gives the card one last betting pass, using weigh-ins, face-offs, and other late tells to sharpen the reads before the card closes. It works because the host is not hiding the process.
