Francesco Mazzeo is part of the UFC light heavyweight division's deep end, fighting out of Italy — 5 pro fights in, still swinging for a number next to his name.
Wrestling is the skeleton key here — 3.2 takedowns a round on average. Everything opponents want to do standing gets interrupted, smothered, and dragged to the canvas.
The last fight went to Kevin Christian (Submission (Triangle Choke With Armbar) R2) — a setback, and the interesting question is always what a fighter does with one.
