Nobody hands you anything at featherweight. Giga Chikadze — "Ninja" to fight fans — has built a 15-6 record the hard way, one fight at a time since leaving Georgia's regional scene.
On the feet he's a problem: 3.75 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 Kevin Vallejos. Careers aren't defined by the fall, though; they're defined by the rebound.
At 37, the window is what it is — which tends to make every remaining fight more honest, and more dangerous.
