Urbina has gone 2-2 over his last four fights, while also going 1-1 in the UFC during that stretch. Luckily, he was able to get back on the winning path in his last fight, which was a second round TKO over Orion Cosce at UFC Fight Night 223 in May of last year.

On average, he achieves 3.96 takedowns and 0.99 submissions per 15 minutes of fight time to offer some success on the ground. His defensive prowess includes a 48 percent success rate against significant strikes but no success yet against takedowns.

Radtke has won his last five battles as he approaches this next fight. His latest triumph was also his debut in the UFC, where he defeated Mike Mathena by unanimous decision at UFC 293 in September of last year.

He boasts eight victories in his record, comprising three knockouts, two submissions, and three decisions. Notably, three of these triumphs concluded in the opening round, while two of his three losses occurred via decision.

His average takedown rate stands at 1.00 per 15 minutes, with no submissions registered yet in his statistical performance. Demonstrating robust defense, he successfully repels significant strikes at a rate of 53 percent and takedowns at an impressive 100 percent. However, his defense will be greatly tested against an established fighter.

MyBookie displays the odds for this matchup, indicating Gilbert Urbina as the favored contender (-190) with the potential to win. Both fighters possess explosive skills that could swiftly conclude the battle, adding appeal to this matchup. While Radtke boasts a solid start to the UFC, his averages so far do not support his chances at success for this matchup.
