Win Methods
Joanderson Brito, better known as "Tubarao", brings a 19-5-1 record into every walk to the cage — and in a division as crowded as featherweight, every single win matters.
The game is built on grappling: 3.4 takedowns per 15 minutes, and opponents spend rounds defending instead of fighting. 8 submission wins say what happens when the defense slips.
Most recent outing: a win over Jordan Leavitt via submission (guillotine choke) r1. Business handled.
