"Golden Boy". That's what they call Daniel Zellhuber, and is part of the UFC lightweight division's deep end, fighting out of Mexico — 19 pro fights in, still swinging for a number next to his name.
He fights at a pace most of the division can't hold — 5.45 strikes landed a minute, every minute. By round three, opponents are usually fighting his fight. Add a 77" reach, and the puzzle gets harder still.
The last fight went to King Green (KO/TKO (Punches) R2) — a setback, and the interesting question is always what a fighter does with one.
