Not a lot of UFC fighters falling to an ankle pick, hard for me to even recall one in general. Ive seen’em on the regional scene all day.
He doesn't seem to focus on forcing the fight anywhere. Seems most content with letting his opponent do what they want and responding with wrapping around them like a snake with elbows.
He uses the threat of an ankle pick to increase his striking effectiveness. Opponents so focused that ankle pick that it leaves them open.
