Nobody hands you anything at lightweight. Damir Ismagulov — "Qazaq" to fight fans — has built a 24-3 record the hard way, one fight at a time since leaving Kazakhstan's regional scene.

The record shows a bit of everything: knockouts (12), submissions (1), decisions (11). Well-rounded is an overused word; here it's just accurate.

The last fight went to Grant Dawson (Decision - Unanimous) — a setback, and the interesting question is always what a fighter does with one.
