Nobody hands you anything at heavyweight. Marcos Rogerio de Lima — "Pezao" to fight fans — has built a 22-10 record the hard way, one fight at a time since leaving Brazil's regional scene.
This is power striking with numbers behind it — 14 KO/TKO wins, 3.7 significant strikes landed per minute. Opponents don't get outpointed so much as dismantled.
Last time out he beat Junior Tafa (KO/TKO (Kick) R2) — the kind of result that keeps a career pointed in the right direction.
He's 41 now. Fighters at this stage aren't building toward something; they're spending what's left, and that usually makes for the best fights.
