Carlos Candelario

The analyst thinks Candelario has some underdog appeal if his price drifts, but still favors the other man to win more often than not.

Candelario's best route to winning is ground and pound rather than pure jiu-jitsu, using an aggressive, grinding style to wear opponents down once he's in top position. His takedown defense is a real weakness, though he does get back to his feet often enough to avoid being controlled for entire rounds. On the feet he's viewed as a scrappy, willing brawler with pop in his hands who could still turn a firefight in his favor if the fight stays standing.
