GrapplingStriking
Australian bantamweight out of the Windang gym that produced Alexander Volkanovski, with a wrestling base and a jiu-jitsu black belt earned in 2022. He fights at a hard pace and wins most rounds by mixing grappling into the clinch rather than hunting knockouts. After dropping his UFC debut to Aleksandre Topuria, he has won two straight decisions, most recently over Vince Morales in May 2026.
