Why this fighter is ranked here

Editorial decision

01Ten professional outcomes and six wins provide more proven depth than the debut-stage professionals below him.

02Three knockout wins, one submission and two decision victories show more than one route to winning.

03A February 2026 loss and a 6–4 overall mark limit his placement despite the experience advantage.

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.
