Why this fighter is ranked here
Editorial decision
01A first-round knockout over Colten Bolling balances a debut loss and produces a 1–1 MMA record.
02The scheduled DCS 100 bout was cancelled and is not counted as activity or a result.
03A two-bout sample with no 2026 MMA result keeps him below fighters with current winning evidence.
Evidence standard
01Completed results control; announcements never count as outcomes.
02MMA, bare-knuckle MMA, boxing, kickboxing, and Muay Thai records stay separate.
03Conflicts remain visible until stronger evidence resolves them.
