Editorial decision
01Both career wins are first-round finishes, including an 18-second VFL 7 TKO.
02Six completed bouts give the résumé a real sample rather than debut-only uncertainty.
03Four prior losses materially outweigh the recent highlight and keep the 2–4 record in the lower third of the board.
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.
