says plainly he is not sure of the pick

Fairly solid on the feet: a takedown-threat setup leads into his overhand, with feinting mixed in and one heavy kick, though his volume there leans toward single strikes rather than combinations. His wrestling is the stronger side of his game -- chains takedowns well, floats smoothly between positions, and lands a decent ground-and-pound -- but he is missing the refined submission layer the analyst says he needs. Projected to be the fresher man if this goes long.
