GrapplingStriking
Multiple-time IBJJF world champion and 2015 ADCC gold medalist, one of the most decorated grapplers ever to enter MMA. Nine of eleven wins by submission, but his striking and cardio have been exposed when fights stay standing. On a two-fight skid after losses to Bo Nickal and Eric McConico.
