Carlos Candelario, better known as "The Cannon", brings a 8-3 record into every walk to the cage — and in a division as crowded as flyweight, every single win matters.
The record shows a bit of everything: knockouts (2), submissions (3), decisions (3). Well-rounded is an overused word; here it's just accurate. Add the southpaw stance, and the puzzle gets harder still.
The last fight went to Jake Hadley (Submission (Triangle Choke) R2) — a setback, and the interesting question is always what a fighter does with one.
