Picked as a root-beer fight -- the analyst explicitly says to stay far away from betting this one despite naming a side.

The better grappler of the two. Decent striking -- described as 'serviceable,' not good, but enough with light kicks here and there to avoid being completely lost on the feet. Pretty good, not great, grappling -- works to advance position, good top pressure, and takes what's given rather than rushing or forcing anything.
