You's repeat entries versus Chovancek's first UFC test
What this fight is really about — and the measurements that shape it
You's recorded wrestling frequency gives him a repeatable route through clinch entries and control. Chovancek's undefeated record and Contender Series result are relevant experience, but they are not a UFC sample. His response to the second and third entry matters more than a single initial sprawl.
