Gabriella Fernandes

"Gabi". That's what they call Gabriella Fernandes, and is ranked #15 at UFC women's flyweight — close enough to smell the title, dangerous enough that champions don't say his name too loudly.

A balanced operator — 3 wins by KO, 3 by submission, 5 on the scorecards. No single weapon to game-plan around, which is exactly the problem. Add the southpaw stance, and the puzzle gets harder still.

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