Jared Cannonier

Jared Cannonier, better known as "The Killa Gorilla", holds the #12 spot at middleweight, flying the flag for the United States — and rankings that high aren't given away, they're taken.

On the feet he's a problem: 4.25 significant strikes a minute at 53% accuracy, and 61% of his wins end in a knockout. The math is bad for anyone standing across from him. Add a 77.5" reach, and the puzzle gets harder still.

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

At 42, the window is what it is — which tends to make every remaining fight more honest, and more dangerous.
