Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos

Nobody hands you anything at welterweight. Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos — "Capoeira" to fight fans — has built a 25-10 record the hard way, one fight at a time since leaving Brazil's regional scene.

On the feet he's a problem: 4.16 significant strikes a minute at 45% accuracy, and 60% of his wins end in a knockout. The math is bad for anyone standing across from him.

He's coming off a loss to Neil Magny. Careers aren't defined by the fall, though; they're defined by the rebound.

At 39, the window is what it is — which tends to make every remaining fight more honest, and more dangerous.
