GrapplingStriking
A 40-year-old southpaw boxer with wins over Tony Ferguson, Dustin Poirier, and other name fighters across a 15-year UFC run. His hand speed still plays — he knocked out Ottman Azaitar and outpointed Daniel Zellhuber in 2024-25 — but a second-round KO loss to Drew Dober in March 2026 snapped that run. Submission defense has been the career-long leak, with nine of his losses coming by tap.
