Nobody hands you anything at featherweight. Jair Farias — "Chosen" to fight fans — has built a 10-1 record the hard way, one fight at a time since leaving Brazil's regional scene.
This is power striking with numbers behind it — 7 KO/TKO wins, 3.8 significant strikes landed per minute. Opponents don't get outpointed so much as dismantled. Add a 77" reach, and the puzzle gets harder still.
The last fight went to Connor Matthews (Decision - Unanimous) — a setback, and the interesting question is always what a fighter does with one.
