That's where I'm going

Nolan is a good striker first and a grappler second, built on good boxing combinations, real power, and especially a good counter check hook that has put people down hard. He throws kicks too, though he does not set them up much. He is very durable, to the point the analyst thinks the realistic routes to beating him are a decision or a submission rather than a knockout. His grappling is merely decent, with decent takedowns, but he is hard to hold down once he is there. The analyst's final pick has him landing that check hook to end the fight.
