Nobody hands you anything at bantamweight. John Castaneda — "Sexy Mexi" to fight fans — has built a 21-8 record the hard way, one fight at a time since leaving the United States's regional scene.
Volume is the weapon: 4.42 significant strikes a minute on 56% accuracy. Rounds get won on attrition — opponents drown in output long before the final bell.
