"Hard Knock". That's what they call Malik Lewis, and is part of the UFC lightweight division's deep end, fighting out of the United States — 8 pro fights in, still swinging for a number next to his name.
Wrestling is the skeleton key here — 4 takedowns a round on average. Everything opponents want to do standing gets interrupted, smothered, and dragged to the canvas.
The last fight went to James Llontop (Decision - Unanimous) — a setback, and the interesting question is always what a fighter does with one.
