strikingsolid
grapplingdecent
He frames the skills question itself as a near-toss-up heading to a decision, then says the actual deciding factor is that he is rooting for Brown and wants to see him win -- the pick follows the disclosed bias rather than an edge -- and he tells viewers directly not to wager on it.
A Muay Thai-style striker known for sharp elbows, good combinations, and a solid leg kick, with those same elbows carrying over in the clinch. His Jiu-Jitsu is rated decent. His takedown defense is called poor, setting up the central question of the fight: can he land enough on the feet before Williams-style grappling (here, McGee) gets him down. The analyst's actual pick leans on wanting to see him win rather than a stated skills edge.
