Nobody hands you anything at flyweight. Joao Elias — "Alicate" to fight fans — has built a 17-4 record the hard way, one fight at a time since leaving Brazil's regional scene.
The ground is where fights end: 11 wins by submission (65% of the total). Scrambles that look even suddenly aren't. Add the southpaw stance, and the puzzle gets harder still.
He's coming off a loss to Rafael Estevam. Careers aren't defined by the fall, though; they're defined by the rebound.
