Mandel Nallo

thinks he can finish him first

A dependable, powerful striker with good counters, kicks thrown at every level (including a strong teep and a nasty calf kick), a long jab, and good knees. Known for finishing fights rather than letting them reach the scorecards. Good grappler, decent takedowns, and relentless off his back, including a good back-take and rear-naked-choke finish, though his own stamina is flagged as a weak point.

Picks Nallo 'inside the distance' and commits to a specific method ('I'm going to say TKO') with no hedge on the winner.

A UFC debutant (undefeated, never been to a decision) with a complete striking game: solid power, good counters, kicks to all levels including a standout teep and a nasty calf kick he showcased on the Contender Series, plus a long jab and good knees. His grappling is also good -- selective but effective takedowns, a good sprawl, a refusal to accept bottom position, and strong back-taking with a real rear naked choke threat. The analyst expects a largely striking-based fight and picks him to break Herbert down for a finish.
