Mike Trizano favored — picked against SeungWoo Choi lean UFC 281 · November 8, 2022
strikinggood
The analyst likes Choi's aggression generally but ultimately favors the opponent, without expressing strong conviction either way.
Choi is close to a pure offensive fighter — accurate, powerful, and willing to walk through return fire to land his own shots, with almost no real defensive game to speak of. He can mix in wrestling attempts of his own, but his takedown defense lags well behind his offense, which is the clearest opening for a more balanced opponent to exploit.
