Hes a little too hittable and undersized at 125. He didn't prove he learned, he just fought another talented prospect who's even greener than he is and has big holes in their striking. Rei will learn, he needs to train abroad for a while and develop his striking over the next few years...needs a hundred or two hours of sparring lmao.
I think Vans ceiling is top 10-15 but never really contender status. Theres a lot of great prospects at 125 though, and many, many more for the UFC to still sign.
His cardio and body punching are great. He needs to solve consistently being a slow starter though, he's often given away the first round which you can't do against a certain level of comp.
