"Rocky". That's what they call Leon Edwards, and is ranked #8 at UFC welterweight — close enough to smell the title, dangerous enough that champions don't say his name too loudly.
The record shows a bit of everything: knockouts (7), submissions (3), decisions (12). Well-rounded is an overused word; here it's just accurate. Add the southpaw stance, and the puzzle gets harder still.
The last fight went to Carlos Prates (KO/TKO (Punch) R2) — a setback, and the interesting question is always what a fighter does with one.
