Gunnar Nelson has the lowest standup striking pace of any active UFC fighter.
Period. He doesn’t just lag the pace of his opponents, he’s outright
hesitant. That will create a big mismatch against Thatch as long as the
fight is on the feet. On the mat, however, Nelson will have the upper
hand. So that may be Nelson’s strategy here; let Thatch come forward and
get aggressive, then wait for the opening for a takedown. Nelson’s best
path to victory is via submission.
