says plainly he is not sure of the pick

Credited as a capable attacker who presses forward behind real strength, but his standout game is grappling: a judo-rooted base layered with jiu-jitsu, a strong takedown arsenal, excellent trips and throws, heavy cage work including dirty boxing, solid work on top, and a wide-ranging submission game. The analyst calls him the superior grappler and picks him on that basis, while openly admitting doubt about the pick if the fight stays standing.
