Namsrai Batbayar

He rebuts the likeliest path to beating Lima (the style that worked last time) as unlikely to repeat, then commits to Lima getting back on track.

Batbayar is rated a good, powerful forward-moving striker who counters well and throws from unusual angles, with a heavy low kick as a weapon. The analyst flags a clear technical gap, though: he keeps his hands low and leans heavily on his right hand rather than working off a jab. His grappling is rated well too, with real takedowns, ground-and-pound, and a strong habit of taking the back to hunt a choke once he gets on top.

Explicitly dismisses the chance of a repeat 'outworked' loss and cites specific exploitable flaws in Batbayar's striking as the mechanism for the pick.

Batbayar is called a good striker who comes forward behind a heavy right hand, throwing a counter off angles and a heavy leg kick, though he is right-hand dependent and keeps his hands low with little lead-hand offense. He's also called a good grappler who mixes in takedowns, works ground-and-pound, and hunts the back for a choke.

He says that if the opponent doesn't fight a perfect 15 minutes once engaged, the pick should have a ton of success getting to him -- a real mechanism (grappling/pressure), but phrased as conditional on the other man NOT performing his best, which is a real concession of a path for the opponent.

A good, forward-moving striker with power and a pull-counter he lands as he comes in, though he can get a little too right-hand-heavy in exchanges. He is rated the better grappler of the two: pretty good takedowns, a strong ground-and-pound game, a strong ability to take the back, and a very tight rear naked choke. The analyst's path to a win for him runs through closing the distance and getting the fight to the mat.

His own words, slightly shortened: 'slightly lean for Aaron Tao' -- a feet-driven pick he says could flip if Batbayar mixes in takedowns early and often.

A decent striker with real power whose punches come from odd angles, giving him real knockout chance, though he is not very clean and keeps his hands low. Called the better grappler of the two by direct comparison: cleaner takedowns that rely less on raw power, good ground and pound, and a sharper submission arsenal, with the chokes singled out especially.
