"Corazón de Leon". That's what they call Luis Pajuelo, and is part of the UFC featherweight division's deep end, fighting out of Peru — 10 pro fights in, still swinging for a number next to his name.
On the feet he's a problem: 6.03 significant strikes a minute at 67% accuracy, and 88% of his wins end in a knockout. The math is bad for anyone standing across from him.
He's coming off a loss to Fernando Padilla. Careers aren't defined by the fall, though; they're defined by the rebound.
