vs Jake Hadley lean UFC Fight Night: Rodriguez vs Lemos Full Card Preview, Prediction, & Analysis · November 2, 2022
grapplinggood

names Hadley the 'official pick' and 'more well-rounded' but repeats 'I don't trust him' and says he would not parlay him

Coming off two straight UFC losses, the first to a well-regarded, heavily hyped prospect in a fight the analyst says he still competed respectably in. He is credited with good (board-matching) grappling and boxing and is called the probable boxing-advantage fighter in this matchup, scrappy with some knockouts, but his takedown defense is specifically called out as poor -- he gets taken down fairly easily, even though he usually gets back up.
