Bolaji Oki, better known as "The Zulu Warrior", brings a 10-4 record into every walk to the cage — and in a division as crowded as lightweight, every single win matters.
He fights at a pace most of the division can't hold — 6.59 strikes landed a minute, every minute. By round three, opponents are usually fighting his fight.
The last fight went to Manoel Sousa (KO/TKO (Punch) R3) — a setback, and the interesting question is always what a fighter does with one.
