5' 9" southpaw all-rounder campaigning at Light Heavyweight. Top 9% of Light Heavyweights: connect with 61% of their significant strikes and absorb only 2.08 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.

Takedowns

No takedown data

UFCStats records no takedown or submission activity for this fighter in either direction — usually a fighter with no UFC bout on the tape. A row of zeroes would read as a measured weakness; this is an absence, and we show it as one.

Recent form

Pro record: 11-14. A fight-by-fight timeline appears here once Wataru Sakata has a UFC bout on the official record.
