Picked against with an explicit coinflip framing from the analyst, who calls this one a genuine toss-up not worth betting on.

A mixed profile the analyst describes as landing right in the middle -- real positives offset by real negatives. Uses range well and picks his shots well, but sometimes doesn't do enough and doesn't fight well moving backward, both of which undercut his real power, real combinations, and really good kick arsenal when he's forced off his front foot. Grappling is similarly uneven: decent trips, but a really good, genuinely fight-carrying guillotine that accounts for most of his finishes (three straight finishes at one stretch of his record). Defensively, the grappling is weak -- takedown defense isn't great and open-mat takedown defense isn't there -- but any opponent who shoots a bad takedown risks getting caught in that guillotine.
