strikinggood grapplingdecent

Picked against despite the analyst separately noting his expected output gives him real betting value on the other side of a close fight.

Debuting in the UFC. A technically sound striker who keeps his combinations simple and effective, with volume that keeps climbing as rounds pass, a jab that stays busy, and pressure that never lets up -- if this one reaches the judges, expect a high-output performance that can win rounds on volume alone, fueled by cardio that doesn't fade. A capable enough grappler when the fight calls for it -- respectable takedowns and takedown defense, difficult to pin down, and genuinely threatening once he reaches an opponent's back.
