Why this fighter is ranked here

Editorial decision

01Three completed wins support an unbeaten record.

02Win methods need reconciliation: the previous all-decision description conflicts with public TKO listings. Finish rate is withheld.

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.
