He settles on a side almost reluctantly after mapping a round-by-round path that could swing either way, and closes by saying he has no good feeling about the pick at all.

A debuting grappler with a long jab and a dangerous choke-based ground game, but soft striking defense and likely the lesser wrestler in the exchange.

Strengthrangy jab he can keep out at distance
Strengthworkable leg kick
Strengthstrong jiu-jitsu with reliable back takes and a deep choke arsenal, rear-naked choke being the standout
Strengthactive and willing off his back rather than stalling there
Strengthcan get takedowns of his own when he needs them
Strengthprojected to be the fresher man if the fight reaches the third, when his opponent is expected to fade
Weaknessstriking defense leaks despite a high guard because he waits out the opponent's combination before reacting, so shots find their way around the shell
Weaknessoffensive striking is only passable and flattered by the description
Weaknesslikely to be the one defending takedowns rather than initiating them in this matchup
