"Goku". That's what they call James Llontop, and is part of the UFC lightweight division's deep end, fighting out of Peru — 19 pro fights in, still swinging for a number next to his name.
He fights at a pace most of the division can't hold — 5.57 strikes landed a minute, every minute. By round three, opponents are usually fighting his fight.
The last fight went to Mauricio Ruffy (Decision - Unanimous) — a setback, and the interesting question is always what a fighter does with one.
At 26 years old with 19 fights of experience already banked, the trajectory matters more than the current ranking.
