Brad Tavares

Brad Tavares brings a 21-13 record into every walk to the cage — and in a division as crowded as middleweight, every single win matters.

A balanced operator — 5 wins by KO, 2 by submission, 14 on the scorecards. No single weapon to game-plan around, which is exactly the problem.

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

At 38, the window is what it is — which tends to make every remaining fight more honest, and more dangerous.
