One of the reasons I think Tonon will do well is that he *isn't* really a leg submission specialist. He's definitely fantastic at them, but he's equally good at taking the back and choking, kimuras, and catching guillotines. I would actually be pretty surprised if we saw him leg lock anyone early in his career, I expect he'll attack much more with chokes just because the wrestling heavy MMA grappling metagame opens up a lot more chances to get on someone's neck than to their legs.
I agree, he's dangerous pretty much everywhere. Its still relatively rare to see such a high level grappler enter MMA. For someone who appreciates grappling in MMA, I'm super excited to see him
