vs Julian Marquez coinflip UFC Fight Night: Cannonier vs Strickland Full Card Analysis, Preview, & Prediction · December 14, 2022
Explicit disclaimer of confidence attached directly to the pick; he says he wanted to pick against both fighters and calls this the matchup he dislikes calling most.
A short, compact wrestler at middleweight whose striking is not good -- his decent-but-unpolished overhand only lands because opponents respect the takedown threat behind it. His real path to victory is high-level wrestling with solid top pressure, laying on Marquez for rounds, though the analyst explicitly questions whether his overall skill set is UFC-caliber at this weight.
