Hawaii-born veteran who has fought in the UFC since 2010 and is tied with Michael Bisping for the most wins in UFC middleweight history. A patient kickboxer who wins rounds with leg kicks and fundamentals rather than finishes. Has dropped two straight and withdrew from a July 2026 bout with Marc-Andre Barriault.
