The style

Hybrid Finisher
First-round finishes · KO power · Submission threat
GrapplingStriking

Former UFC heavyweight champion out of Salford, England, who pairs one-punch power with a legitimate submission game and almost never sees a second round. His October 2025 title defense against Ciryl Gane ended in a no contest after an eye poke, and lingering complications from that injury led him to vacate the heavyweight title on September 14, 2026 rather than proceed with a planned unification rematch in Paris. He remains sidelined as he recovers.
