Cody Chovancek, better known as "The Best Fisherman in MMA", brings a 9-0 record into every walk to the cage — and in a division as crowded as bantamweight, every single win matters.
A balanced operator — 4 wins by KO, 2 by submission, 3 on the scorecards. No single weapon to game-plan around, which is exactly the problem.
He arrives on a 5-fight win streak — most recently Raphael Uchegbu, KO/TKO (Punch) R3. Streaks like that don't stay unnoticed for long.
