A detailed analysis suggests Jailton Almeida's fighting style remains problematic despite his victory over Curtis Blades. While Almeida can fight better and avoid taking damage, his created image of aggressive attacks means he takes unnecessary risks that worked against Blades but could lead to knockout losses against Alex Pereira or Sergei Pavlovich. The analysis notes Almeida is hitting harder and showed improved elbow work and takedown defense in the third round, crediting coach Winkeljohn. His deviant behavior is noted as incompatible with trainers Jackson and Winkeljohn but perfectly aligned with Trump and Dana White's preferences. Against Derrick Lewis, concerns exist that Lewis may prioritize money and avoiding damage over winning.
