Lawrence Lui

He picks Lui outright on the grappling gap, expecting little resistance to a takedown; no hedge is placed on the win itself.

Lui is framed as a counter-forward fighter who prefers to block an incoming shot on the glove or forearm before firing back, rather than simply slipping and returning fire. He presses forward like Santiago but with a tighter, higher guard, and the analyst credits him with real power behind that counter style. On the ground he is comfortable working against the cage and adjusting through scrambles. The analyst sees him holding a clear grappling edge and does not expect Santiago to offer much resistance if a takedown is added to the gameplan.

Gives a real mechanism for the pick (grappling and cage-push edge, little expected takedown resistance from Santiago) with no hedge on the win itself.

Lui is a forward-moving counter striker who blocks and returns rather than trading evenly, keeps a high guard, and carries real power. The analyst calls his striking roughly even with Santiago's but gives him the clear edge on the ground, citing a good cage push and scrambling. He expects little takedown resistance from Santiago if Lui chooses to use it.

A self-described coin-flip call: he frames the two paths as equally live and says the pick was only settled moments before recording.

Rated a good striker whose forward pressure pairs with a high guard, fighting block-and-return: absorbing a shot on the arms, then countering back with real power ('cannons for hands' for his weight). His grappling is decent, built mainly around the cage push to wear on opponents, plus good scrambles if the fight does hit the mat.
