Marco Tulio

Picked against, with the analyst noting his real grappling advantage likely surfaces too late in the fight to matter.

Owns a real grappling edge in this matchup on paper but seems hesitant to lean on it, apparently gun-shy after a past Contender Series appearance where a genuine grappling win still didn't earn him a contract. He's a good striker -- real power, real volume, a solid kick game led by the leg kick, and a dynamic, somewhat unorthodox mix that includes flashier tools like spinning elbows, upward elbows, and flying knees. His grappling is solid overall, only average on the takedown entries themselves, but once a fight does hit the floor he brings good ground and pound and moves fluidly from position to position on top; he also sweeps well if he winds up underneath.
