Signed off the Contender Series as a teenager in 2018 and still only 26 despite seven years on the roster. A legitimate BJJ black belt with 13 finishes in 17 wins, he snapped a two-fight knockout skid with a first-round rear-naked choke of Mitch Ramirez in July 2026, and now meets fellow submission threat Chris Padilla at UFC 335.
