strikingsolid grapplinggood

He states he has to side with Delano but frames the matchup as essentially even, admits he doesn't know how it will be priced, and closes with a wait-and-see hedge.

A slick, accurate, well-rounded striker who moves well and can hold his own on the mat, framed as the superior man on the feet in a near-even matchup.

Strengthlight-footed movement, darts in behind a one-two and gets out
Strengthhigh accuracy, places shots where he wants them rather than throwing loosely
Strengthstrings punches and kicks together in combination, including body work
Strengthcomfortable fighting from either stance, with southpaw as his natural side

outmatched, vast skill gap

A fighter the analyst ranked highly after his own Contender Series review. A solid striker with good movement, darting entries, accuracy and combinations, comfortable working either stance (best as a southpaw) and working the body with punches and kicks. His grappling backs it up: a good sprawl, opportunistic takedowns and opportunistic submission attempts.
