Levan Chokheli

Picked with an explicit coinflip framing -- the analyst says he's going back and forth and settles on pressing for an early finish, but wouldn't be surprised either way.

Pretty solid striker overall with real power, a kick arsenal that reaches all levels, and surprisingly good head movement for a fighter who blitzes forward -- tries to keep his head off the centerline entering. The real flaw shows up specifically when he starts headhunting: he overswings badly and gets far off-line, a moment where he's genuinely vulnerable to a counter knockout. Good offensive grappler with good takedowns and a good ability to catch kicks, but defensively weak -- takedown defense is shaky and he's the type who can get held down. Also has the worse cardio of the two and tends to fade as the fight goes on. Returning to welterweight after recent fights at catchweight or middleweight, and noticeably tall for the division.
