"Jacare". That's what they call Igor Cavalcanti, and is part of the UFC welterweight division's deep end, fighting out of Brazil — 10 pro fights in, still swinging for a number next to his name.

On the feet he's a problem: 3.33 significant strikes a minute at 48% accuracy, and 78% of his wins end in a knockout. The math is bad for anyone standing across from him. Add a 79.5" reach, and the puzzle gets harder still.

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