He names what 'sold it' for him -- Sahota's habit of spinning into a takedown and dropping his lead hand on the cross -- and commits to Choi in first person, while still calling it a really close fight.

Leads with length -- a long jab and a flying knee he uses to close the gap -- and pairs it with solid head movement, nasty knees and elbows in tight, and a healthy output and kicking rate. Two bad habits are flagged: he spins more than the analyst wants, which has cost him his back before, and his lead hand drops low whenever he fires the cross. His back-side grappling is busy, and working an opponent against the fence is called his best grappling tool.
