Castaneda classified Wineland as a “really heavy boxer” as opposed to a kickboxer and grappler. “Sexy Mexi” feels one of his keys to victory is his speed.

“I’m not going to feed into what kind of fight he wants,” Castaneda told MMASucka. “I’m going to push a pace on him, outpoint him and try to stick and move a lot; not really allow him to get going.
