Nobody hands you anything at lightweight. Dakota Hope — "Huracán" to fight fans — has built a 11-2 record the hard way, one fight at a time since leaving the United States's regional scene.
The record shows a bit of everything: knockouts (5), submissions (1), decisions (5). Well-rounded is an overused word; here it's just accurate.
The last fight went to Kai Kamaka III (Decision - Split) — a setback, and the interesting question is always what a fighter does with one.
