Calls Hooker 'a live dog here' (betting-underdog language, which caps conviction per the confidence-bar rule) and twice says 'I could be wrong' about rating Parnasse so highly, despite ultimately picking him plainly.

A complete fighter by the analyst's own description: a solid striker with good forward pressure, combinations that mix levels and blend punches and kicks, a distinctive long jab, a full kick arsenal, accuracy, counters, and shot selection. His grappling is just as rounded -- a varied, often reactive takedown arsenal, good transitions, a path to the back finished by a nasty rear naked choke, good ground-and-pound, and good takedown defense. The analyst calls him a potential top-five fighter in the division, while admitting he could be wrong about that.
