Gives a specific, precedent-backed mechanism (his forward pressure and durability already broke a technically superior striker, Cortez, on the Contender Series) plus a method/round call (late finish, round 2-3) with no hedge on the win itself; 'probably' attaches only to timing/method, which does not demote.

A solid grappler with good takedowns, an aggressive submission-attacking style, and a very large submission toolbox he can work from almost any position. His striking is decent but is mostly there to set up the grappling. His pre-UFC level of competition was not great, making him hard to gauge at this level.
