"Lion of the Ring". That's what they call Ahmad Hassanzada, and is part of the UFC lightweight division's deep end, fighting out of Afghanistan — 15 pro fights in, still swinging for a number next to his name.
The ground is where fights end: 6 wins by submission (50% of the total). Scrambles that look even suddenly aren't.
He arrives on a 3-fight win streak — most recently Dylan Mantello, Submission (Rear Naked Choke) R3. Streaks like that don't stay unnoticed for long.
