Being a veteran who is in the latter stage of the game, it’s natural that he has taken a lot of losses and knockouts but it’s still impressive that he has 45 wins in his 20-year MMA career.
He’s currently on a two-fight win streak following a TKO win over Alexey Olyenik and he was supposed to face Walt Harris this weekend, but due to the Aniah Blanchard case, he understandably had to pull out.
