Why this fighter is ranked here

Editorial decision

01The August 2026 first-round submission supplies the strongest recency signal in this portion of the professional board.

02All four professional wins are submissions, establishing a clear finishing identity.

03The 4–4 record and absence of a current major title keep him behind the deeper winning résumés above.

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.
