JeongYeong Lee

He announces the side up front purely because that fighter is his personal favorite and says he would take him against anyone, framing the pick as entertainment rather than a conclusion drawn from the breakdown.

A sharp combination striker with power and a credible offensive grappling game, but his takedown defense is described as increasingly exploitable against a bigger-threat grappler.

root beer fight, but Lee is the pick

Stepping in on short notice for a different opponent, Lee is a solid, well-rounded striker (fast combinations, body work, good movement) who likes to brawl even when he does not need to, which has cost him before; he grapples mainly off strikes that land but shows a quick armbar and good ground and pound when he gets there.

He explicitly says either guy could win this and expects a brawl, then sides with Lee on the strength of trusting his durability and body work 'a little bit more' -- a named winner on a narrow, stated margin rather than a confident read.

A solid striker with fast combinations who works the body and carries real power, moving well and willing to turn a fight into a brawl -- a trait the analyst calls a genuine two-way swing, great when he's the better brawler and a real risk when he isn't. His grappling is good too: solid takedown defense, good ground-and-pound on top, sharp shot selection, and a fast armbar. The pick ultimately rests on trusting his durability and body work over Santos's.

An explicit, unhedged declaration: he says he has to go with Lee, closing flatly by naming Lee as 'my pick,' reasoned on Lee being 'a more complete fighter' and simply the more well-rounded man for this particular matchup. No hedge on the win itself, no wager caution.

Called a solid striker who throws fast combinations and rips the body, with real power, good movement, and a willingness to turn fights into brawls. His grappling is 'slick' (off-ladder on the board, matching the speech) with good takedown defense, a conservative, shot-picking approach, and a specialty armbar.

He states plainly that he is taking Lee, reasoning that an armbar finish is coming in one of the exchanges, and closes the bout for Lee by that method -- no hedge on the win, no odds mentioned.

Lee is a fast-starting, good striker who turns fights into brawls -- where he excels thanks to power and very slick Brazilian jiu-jitsu, which lets him capitalize on scrambles whether he's taking an opponent down or being taken down himself. He is an armbar specialist and finisher, described as excellent and very quick with the submission from multiple positions.

Picks Lee outright and says he feels good about it, favoring him as the far superior striker and crediting his jiu-jitsu as a live finishing threat if the fight hits the mat.

A fast-starting, aggressive brawler with crisp striking that the analyst calls far superior to Zha Yi's. His jiu-jitsu is described as extremely fast and dangerous, illustrated by a tournament armbar finish that caught an opponent by surprise. The pick favors him both on the feet, where Zha Yi is weakest, and on the mat if Zha Yi ever loses top control.
