Herbert Burns

"The Blaze". That's what they call Herbert Burns, and is part of the UFC featherweight division's deep end, fighting out of Brazil — 17 pro fights in, still swinging for a number next to his name.

Wrestling is the skeleton key here — 2.9 takedowns a round on average. Everything opponents want to do standing gets interrupted, smothered, and dragged to the canvas.

The last fight went to Jack Jenkins (KO/TKO (Punches) R3) — a setback, and the interesting question is always what a fighter does with one.

He's 38 now. Fighters at this stage aren't building toward something; they're spending what's left, and that usually makes for the best fights.
