Tre'ston Vines

Picks Maimaitijiang and casts doubt on the opponent's own three-round path to victory rather than hedging his own pick.

Primarily a lateral-moving, leg-kicking striker who keeps a high guard and circles the outside rather than engaging directly, a pattern the analyst links to a shaky chin, noting every one of his losses has ended in a finish. His clearer path to winning is grappling: he is described as a good, comfortable top-control fighter once the fight is on the mat.

The early-finish case is conditional on him "landing on Vines," and the analyst separately doubts the opponent's own path ever happening, which supports but doesn't emphatically assert the pick.

A decent striker who relies on lateral movement around the cage and leg kicks behind a high guard, a pattern the analyst says he repeats most fights. He is not considered very durable -- all four of his career losses came by knockout or TKO. He is also a decent grappler with a decent takedown and top pressure, and is noted as very good at staying safe once on top.
