Gumby Vreeland backed Tuka Tokos as a value dog, arguing his wrestling-first style directly exploits Junior Tafa’s biggest weakness. Vreeland pointed out that every Tafa loss—both in the UFC and on the regional scene—came when opponents secured takedowns and controlled him. Tokos flashed that very skill set by out-wrestling PFL standout Ty Flores and hitting his lone takedown before being clipped by Zhang Mingyang. A self-described jiu-jitsu specialist, Tokos should win extended grappling exchanges against a slimmer but still defensively porous Tafa. With the line only around +150, Gumby sees enough edge to fire on the upset and even sprinkle a submission prop.
