Austin Bashi

Nobody hands you anything at featherweight. Austin Bashi has built a 14-2 record the hard way, one fight at a time since leaving the United States's regional scene.

The game is built on grappling: 7.8 takedowns per 15 minutes, and opponents spend rounds defending instead of fighting. 6 submission wins say what happens when the defense slips.

He's coming off a loss to Jose Miguel Delgado. Careers aren't defined by the fall, though; they're defined by the rebound.

And here's the scary part: he's 24. 16 pro fights before most fighters hit their prime — the ceiling is nowhere in sight.
