AJ Cunningham

He calls the striking close and even gives the opponent a slight edge there, leaning on You's grappling control as the deciding factor.

Our words: a decent striker with good forward pressure, power and combinations early, who turns to wild, looping exchanges once he starts absorbing shots -- not helped by shaky defense. He's extremely tough, grinding out standing stoppages through accumulated damage rather than getting finished outright. His grappling is a real strength: a good back-taker with very good sweeps, though he usually ends up there after being taken down rather than by his own offense.

Repeats the named commitment twice ('I'm gonna take Ludi Klein', then 'Klein the pick') with a stated mechanism: the cleaner/crisper striker, able to stop most takedowns. Only softening is a concession Cunningham could 'pour it on' late if he survives that long -- a durability caveat, not doubt about the winner.

A striker who presses forward well, carries real power, and throws clean combination work, but once shots start landing on him he tends toward wild, brawling exchanges. His defensive striking is weak, offset by notable durability and heart. On the mat he is a capable wrestler and back-taker who sweeps effectively, though his takedown defense is a liability and his bottom jiu-jitsu game is below that standard.
