Why this fighter is ranked here
Editorial decision
01The VFL 7 one-minute rear-naked choke and a prior ankle-lock win move Havel to 2–1 with one no contest.
02Two distinct submission wins create a credible grappling signal while the no contest is not treated as a win.
03The latest bout was at middleweight, but the mixed welterweight/middleweight history and four-outcome sample limit the P4P position.
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.
