Picked to win the minutes over a fighter more likely to win individual highlight moments.
Pressures forward constantly and throws in real volume -- those are the two traits he can be counted on for every time out. He assembles workable combinations and hits with modest but genuinely felt power on every shot landed, even without one-punch stopping ability. His grappling is better than advertised -- solid takedown defense, a strong front-choke game, and he uses his own ground-and-pound specifically to open those chokes up, luring a turned back into a rear-naked choke or a turtled defense into a front choke. What actually wins him fights is pace -- a steady, heavy workrate that wears opponents down over the course of a fight.
