Farid Basharat, better known as "Ferocious", holds the #14 spot at bantamweight, flying the flag for Afghanistan — and rankings that high aren't given away, they're taken.

Wrestling is the skeleton key here — 3.6 takedowns a round on average. Everything opponents want to do standing gets interrupted, smothered, and dragged to the canvas.

The form line is loud: 5 straight wins, the latest over John Garza (Decision - Unanimous). Momentum like that forces the division's hand.
