strikinggood grapplingvery good

He names what 'sold it' for him -- Sahota's habit of spinning into a takedown and dropping his lead hand on the cross -- and commits to Choi in first person, while still calling it a really close fight.

A good striker built around counters who is willing to let the opponent lead, backed by durability that lets him absorb shots and fire back; he adds a good inside leg kick, a clean cross, feints and real power. His judo-based grappling is very good once he gets into clinch range, including slick transitions and strong back-taking, though reaching that clinch against a longer man is called the main obstacle.
