      Why Raina made this pick

      Bo Nickal is the more complete mat wrestler here, and the model gives that skill set the deciding weight over 2 periods.

      Max McEnelly's clearest path is chaining takedowns and building points from top position - a live route, which is why confidence sits at 62%.

      Reach, stance (Southpaw vs Orthodox) and pace history all point to a finish around period 1.
