Names Lawrence as the pick but calls it a tough matchup to call and says his own confidence is low, telling viewers to bet the over instead of backing Lawrence.

A volume-takedown wrestler who shoots repeatedly and chain-wrestles rather than needing one clean entry, with good mat returns and scrambling. Striking is secondary and only decent. The analyst gives him a slight edge in total strike volume and in sheer number of takedown attempts, though not in takedown quality.

Striking trend

Sig. strikes/min, last 4 fights · green = win
February 27, 2021 vs Vince Cachero — 6.09/min (W) Feb '21 February 12, 2022 vs Mana Martinez — 3.07/min (W) Feb '22 July 9, 2022 vs Saidyokub Kakhramonov — 1.0/min (L) Jul '22 June 17, 2023 vs Dan Argueta — 0.43/min (NC) — only 2.3 min of tape, so this rate reflects how fast the fight ended more than how he fought Jun '23
