Cain Carrizosa is a lanky undefeated BJJ artist standing at 6'0" who's fought at Bellator and most-recently with Tachi Palace Fights. He is pretty active from his back, always grip fighting and isolating a limb, throwing elbows, etc. He really loves to use the overhook while on the bottom to isolate the arm for the triangle/armbar. I think this fits right into Wade's style. He likes to strike at angles like Dillashaw, Cruz, etc, but doesn't have the lateral movement those guys do - obviously. He likes to set his strikes up to clinch and get the fight to the ground. When he has to strike, he sometimes throws wild and drops his hands.
Chris Wade is kickboxer with a wrestling background who has made an appearance in WSOF (his only career loss). He leads his combos a lot with kicks, but doesn't throw them with speed and intention. This leads to a lot of counter punches and has him susceptible to the takedown. It also looks like he's got good takedown defense when he doesn't respect his opponents standup (vs Vinicius Agudo ROC 38). Though it looks like he's got a pretty good chin. He's been involved in many decisions (only two submission wins, no KO wins). He's built like a brick sh1thouse and his cardio looks fine. Like a wrestler and kickboxer, he's not all that great on his back - doesn't have a closed guard and his transitions/defense while in guard consist of eating punches and holding onto his opponent so the ref will stand them up. When in his opponent's guard, he doesn't go for submissions, but more of a wrestlefu3cker with a sprinkling of ground and pound.
Traditionally when this fight hits the mat, the position-improving wrestler will get outpointed by the more active BJJ fighter, even if on the ground. I think this is probably a wash on the feet and likely will have Cain bring it to the ground via takedown or pulling guard. Both of these fighters have some glaring weaknesses but look like they have some parts of their game that will give others trouble. I'd see ground and pound vs BJJ and with two green fighters in the UFC, the line is probably closer to even instead of Wade -130/Cain +100. If Wade gets more action and Cain's line gets better, I'll probably bite for a half-unit. Or if I can find a prop on Cain by submission..
Pretty sweet finish by Chris Wade. Write-up and research for naught. Boo! C'mon Kick, one leg down!
