Carpenter is an Arizona flyweight out of The MMA Lab who arrived in the UFC unbeaten with both of his knockouts coming by head kick and four submission wins on the ledger. He fights at a fast pace and takes as much as he gives, absorbing more significant strikes per minute than he lands, which has caught up with him against better competition. He has lost three straight — to Tagir Ulanbekov, Jafel Filho, and Jose Ochoa — and is fighting for his place on the roster.
