Kron Gracie

Kron Gracie is part of the UFC featherweight division's deep end, fighting out of Brazil — 8 pro fights in, still swinging for a number next to his name.

The ground is where fights end: 5 wins by submission (100% 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 Bryce Mitchell. Careers aren't defined by the fall, though; they're defined by the rebound.

At 38, the window is what it is — which tends to make every remaining fight more honest, and more dangerous.
