Nilson Rojas

He says he has to side with Hasan on what he knows, but repeatedly flags that Rojas is unproven and floats someone taking a chance on him if the price is right.

Rojas is an unbeaten prospect stepping into his first UFC bout, and the analyst admits plainly that tape on him remains thin. What he has seen is a heavy, forceful striker who works well at close range with knees and elbows and backs it up with good takedown defense, including sprawling and working back to his feet off the ground. He has not been seen attacking grappling himself, so there is little information either way on that side of his game. The analyst still won't rule him out given he has never lost.

Sides with Hasan as the known, proven quantity but states real uncertainty about Rojas's unseen ceiling before naming the pick.

Rojas is an undefeated prospect making his promotional debut, called a solid striker with real forward pressure: works the body, strings combinations, feints and is dangerous in the pocket with knees and elbows. He's credited with good takedown defense and sprawling, and works back to his feet if taken down, though the analyst has little to go on for any offensive grappling since none has been shown.
