I wish itp mma was doing more fight analysis like they used to, it's become a pure gossip channel. Good fun still, just not on the same level of their past stuff.

Jonny Walkers chin is Cody Garbrandt gone by now he was knocked out over and over in his past fights. So he isn't any kind of threat anymore. And Khalil with his Muay Thai focus has probably developed a better clinch over time. I think the bettin odds would also favor Khalil in a rematch.

But they are very different to the submissions you listed with perhaps the exception of heel hooks (which people rip and is relatively easy to injure someone with).
