Benardo Sopaj

Picked in a fight the analyst calls competitive but ultimately favors him to get done.

Good striker with good power, good counter-striking, and a very dynamic attack mixing creative strikes from various angles. Good grappler too -- gets to the body lock and sticks with it, working trips and wearing an opponent down from there, with good takedown defense. A real, specific, and deliberately risky tactic: after sprawling a takedown attempt, he'll throw a knee right up the pipe at an opponent still getting back up, willing to risk it if they're anywhere close to still being down -- a tool that both finishes fights and discourages opponents from shooting on him at all.
