Joseph Holmes

"Ugly Man". That's what they call Joseph Holmes, and is part of the UFC middleweight division's deep end, fighting out of the United States — 12 pro fights in, still swinging for a number next to his name.

The ground is where fights end: 6 wins by submission (75% of the total). Scrambles that look even suddenly aren't. Add a 80" reach, and the puzzle gets harder still.

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