6' 3" orthodox all-rounder campaigning at Heavyweight. Top 5% of Heavyweights: average 4.7 submission attempts per 15 minutes and absorb only 1.49 significant strikes a minute.

Tale of the tape facts

The facts, plainly — vitals and record from public UFC statistics; nickname, nationality, hometown and camp from the public fighter register. A field we can't source stays “pending”; it never shows a fake value.

Strike zones

No zone data

UFCStats has no per-zone significant-strike breakdown on file for this fighter yet — usually because they have not fought in the UFC, or their bouts predate zone-level recording.

Rate bars run to the population’s 95th percentile (6.29 takedowns / 15m); a fighter above it pins the bar. Percentages are drawn on their own axis.

Career UFC takedown rates exactly as UFCStats publishes them: takedowns landed per 15 minutes, completion rate, submission attempts per 15 minutes, and the share of takedowns tried on them that they stuffed. Attempts per 15 is the one derived figure — landed ÷ completion rate — and it is omitted wherever either input is missing. UFCStats writes 0% where no attempt was recorded at all, so a percentage of exactly zero reads “n/a” here rather than as a measured rate. “Field” is the average fighter in that weight class, or across every division where a class is too small to average.
