Nobody hands you anything at welterweight. Colby Covington — "Chaos" to fight fans — has built a 17-5 record the hard way, one fight at a time since leaving the United States's regional scene.

Wrestling is the skeleton key here — 3.6 takedowns a round on average. Everything opponents want to do standing gets interrupted, smothered, and dragged to the canvas.

The last fight went to Joaquin Buckley (TKO - Doctor's Stoppage R3) — a setback, and the interesting question is always what a fighter does with one.

He's 38 now. Fighters at this stage aren't building toward something; they're spending what's left, and that usually makes for the best fights.
