Mandel Nallo

"Mango". That's what they call Mandel Nallo, and is part of the UFC lightweight division's deep end, fighting out of Canada — 18 pro fights in, still swinging for a number next to his name.

The ground is where fights end: 6 wins by submission (43% of the total). Scrambles that look even suddenly aren't.

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

At 36, the window is what it is — which tends to make every remaining fight more honest, and more dangerous.
