Cameron VanCamp

Lean, using his own verb: he says he will lean VanCamp, and the price is inside the pick's run-up -- the selection is presented as taking an underdog, which the bar reads as caution, not conviction. He leaves the other man a live route in the same passage, crediting him with a real chance of winning, and he tells viewers not to size this up, saying he would not 'go wild' on it. The supporting clause is hedged itself: range and grappling give VanCamp only 'the slightest bit' more room than he had last time out, a fight he grades no better than okay. The closers are soft -- 'some upside', a stylistically good spot -- and the chapter finishes by setting the condition on which he would start fading the man he just picked, rather than by closing the fight.

Six foot two in a lightweight division, and the reach is the whole of his case: he expects VanCamp to land on a shorter man before that man can land back, and he gives him the grappling advantage on top of it. He handles the last appearance carefully -- a short-notice step up to welterweight that ended in a knockout -- and reads it as circumstance rather than evidence, saying he looked fine while it lasted and did not look bad. His view is that this is a better stylistic spot, back at his own weight. He also draws a line: another stoppage loss and he stops backing him.
