leaning a little towards Wellmaker
Tanzilovi is a sound switch-stance striker who controls range with accurate power shots, good kicks and knees, with footwork as his standout tool. Defensively he manages reasonably at the start of a takedown, but the analyst says he does poorly once actually on his back and struggles to get right back up.

Pick is clear, but closes admitting it "could go either way".
Described as a true bantamweight moving up for this fight, built around sharp, accurate striking with real range control and a standout kicking arsenal called his best tool. Grappling is secondary; he can do it offensively but rarely chooses to, and his takedown defense holds against one attempt but is expected to give out if chained. He is not comfortable once on his back and tends to give up position to stand back up.
