GrapplingStriking
Liverpool's loudest export — a second-degree BJJ black belt and former Cage Warriors champion with 10 submission wins. Looked like a new fighter stopping Michael Chandler, then lost his first UFC fight to Justin Gaethje for the interim title in January. This is his bounce-back fight, against the most dangerous stylistic matchup in the division.
