strikinggood
grapplinggood
Picked as a root-beer fight -- the analyst calls this genuinely tricky and settles on the opponent mainly because his recent weight-class move down has looked good.
A strong striker whose offense is genuinely varied -- he chains combinations together nicely, moves well on his feet, and has a solid kick selection. His real flaw is a tendency to get overly flashy at times, which both tires him out and can leave him exposed. His grappling is also good, with excellent timing on his takedowns, quality ground and pound, and a real knack for pouncing on submission openings when they appear. He typically dominates the opening round, a trend that should hold here, though this fight is expected to tighten up as it progresses and could genuinely go either way late.
