Allen Frye: American knockout artist bringing raw power and fast finishes into his UFC debut
Allen Frye (6-0-0) enters the UFC as one of the most dangerous heavyweight newcomers of the year. Every one of his six professional bouts has ended by knockout. Standing 6 feet 4 inches tall and fighting with a forward-moving, aggressive style, Frye overwhelms opponents with rapid bursts of power and a willingness to engage immediately. His regional run demonstrated not just knockout ability but the confidence to bite down and trade heavy shots from the opening bell.
However, Frye’s game remains largely untested beyond the early exchanges. He has never fought past the first round, leaving questions about his cardio, defensive composure and ability to adapt when opponents survive the initial surge. His competition level has been limited, and stepping into the UFC without experience against seasoned heavyweights represents a significant leap in difficulty. Still, Frye’s power is undeniable, and any fighter who stays within range risks being caught by one of his explosive punches.
Guilherme Pat: Brazil’s polished young finisher looking to make a statement in his first UFC appearance
Guilherme Pat (5-0-0) arrives in the promotion as another undefeated prospect, but one who has shown a slightly more measured and composed approach compared with Frye. At 6 feet 5 inches tall with long reach and excellent use of range, Pat has demonstrated a cleaner striking style and greater variety in his offence. Four of his five victories have come via stoppage. His ability to control distance and pick opponents apart from the outside has been one of the hallmarks of his regional dominance.
Pat has also logged more cage time across his early career than Frye, showing improved patience and defensive responsibility as fights progress. While he, too, has not been forced into deep waters often, his performances suggest a fighter who builds into exchanges rather than relying solely on early chaos. His combination of length, timing and shot selection makes him a tricky opponent for power punchers who depend on closing distance quickly.
Allen Frye vs Guilherme Pat prediction
This matchup has the makings of a classic heavyweight firefight, but stylistically it leans towards the more composed and technically refined athlete. Frye brings serious knockout power, but his reliance on early flurries and limited defensive experience create openings for a longer, more measured striker like Pat. The Brazilian’s ability to keep range, counter cleanly and avoid unnecessary exchanges gives him the clearer technical edge.
If Frye cannot force an early finish, Pat should begin to take control by capitalising on Frye’s forward pressure and defensive gaps. His reach advantage, straighter punches and superior timing are likely to play a major role. While both men have finishing upside, Pat appears to have the more reliable tools and adaptability to impose his game as the bout unfolds.
Prediction: Guilherme Pat to win via KO/TKO
