One-shot power · Heavy leg kicks · Three-division veteran
GrapplingStriking
Former title challenger who started his UFC career at heavyweight and knocked out names in three divisions — Anderson Silva, Jack Hermansson, Derek Brunson among them. Lost the 2022 title fight to Adesanya on points. At 42 he's 2-3 in his last five, though the wins show the power is intact: a come-from-behind fourth-round KO of Gregory Rodrigues was the last one. This is a stay-relevant fight against a surging contender a dozen years younger.
