Particularly because his opponent couldn't threaten his centerline, and opted for wild hooks, long-range and readable roundhouses, and spinning-kick instead. His opponent also seemed to not respect low-kicks (or just don't know how to properly defend them).
Most likely, had there been teeps or competent jab/crosses he would need to resort to other setups for that much hip commitment.
I don't think it had anything to do with his centerline - more to do with the fact his sense of distance was way off - that's why he kept getting tagged with low kicks, maybe it was nerves & the fact that Lucas was throwing them pitch perfect (especially the first one).
