Chaaban is coming off a war against a tough guy that showed all his abilities and holes in it. Chaaban is a long lanky guy who uses his length on the feet and on the mat. I like his striking in terms of his style. He keeps long and throws from the hip being hard to read.
Chaaban mixes it up well too going to the body often. I love his jab and overall striking because it’s clean. Although his striking can look good he does hold his hands low and brings them back to face too slow. He’s been hit a lot in fights and dropped. Chaaban has proved to be tough but takes a lot of damage. Chaaban also uses his length in his grappling attacking front-head locks and the neck in general. I can see a lot of guys holding him down but he’s dangerous at all times.
