At #15 in the flyweight rankings, Édgar Cháirez — "Puro Chicali" to fight fans — is past the "prospect" stage. This is contender territory, and every fight from here is a title eliminator in disguise.
The ground is where fights end: 9 wins by submission (64% of the total). Scrambles that look even suddenly aren't.
He arrives on a 3-fight win streak — most recently Bruno Silva, Submission (Rear Naked Choke) R1. Streaks like that don't stay unnoticed for long.
Next up: Tim Elliott at Noche UFC on September 13, 2026. Circle the date.
