Faglier's Mixed Martial Arts

Guram Fight Club
Each axis comes from a measured career average, scaled to a fixed 0–100 range.
Wellmaker is coming off two losses: a decision against Ethyn Ewing on 15 November 2025, followed by a submission loss to Juan Diaz on 16 May 2026. His record includes 6 KO/TKOs, 2 submissions, and 2 decisions, with first-round KOs against Kris Moutinho, Cameron Saaiman, and Adam Bramhald.
Tanzilovi has 7 KO/TKOs and 3 decisions in his 10-2 record, but lost by unanimous decision to Shane Collins on 20 June 2026 after three rounds, at 145 lb. The levels of opposition are uneven, and these results are insufficient to establish current superiority.
No previous meeting between Malcolm Wellmaker and Otari Tanzilovi is known. The absence of a direct matchup prevents using a shared history to distinguish their styles.
No verified public injury, opponent replacement, or official weigh-in has been confirmed before October 7, 2026. Medical status and the success of the weight cut cannot be inferred.
For Wellmaker, the main path is to apply pressure quickly and look for the KO/TKO, with a possible move to the back or submission if Tanzilovi retreats in a straight line or gets up poorly. This assessment is based mainly on regional fights and remains weakened by his two recent losses, including one by submission.
For Tanzilovi, the wrestling entries observed against Collins - 5 takedowns out of 9 and 4 min 14 s of control - could serve to slow Wellmaker down and target a decision if he improves his control against the cage and his transitions. But Collins regularly got back up, and Tanzilovi produced little from dominant positions, leaving open the possibility of insufficient control.
Tanzilovi has confirmed experience in several three-round fights; Wellmaker won a five-round fight against Taylor Moore on October 14, 2023. Actual five-round experience for Tanzilovi has not been established.
Fight announced between Malcolm Wellmaker and Otari Tanzilovi at UFC Fight Night 290, at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The bantamweight division is confirmed by the event card, with the fight probably scheduled at 135 lb.
The number of rounds, official weigh-in, any replacement, and the exact fight time remain unknown.
An evenly matched duel in terms of professional records (10–2 each), but with different profiles: Wellmaker presents a better-documented early offensive threat, while Tanzilovi may look to slow the fight down through wrestling and control.
