FIGHTING STYLE
WELL ROUNDED

Well rounded fighter built around defensive grappling — 42% of wins are by sub.

KEY STRENGTHS

Drags it to the mat and hunts the finish — submission threat opens up off transitions.

KEY RISKS

Volume strikers have outpointed across full fights — output drops after R2.
