Gillotte is as close to that as you're gonna get, it would seem.
He has speed, he has some bend. But he uses that speed more to get into guys bodies and/or set them up for a genuine move.
He's not looking to go up the arc on anyone. If they just don't react, he might. But he uses his speed to set up his power or to set up a hand-fight rather than as a means to an end itself.
With someone like Uche, speed was the first club in his bag - his speed was his Driver. With Gillotte it's something of a 7 iron.
I'll take what I can get there. Honestly, I kinda feel like that was the plan for FAU but the get-off has just never come along like it should. If Gillotte plays out like we hope, it'll be because he became the guy we thought FAU would.
