Mario Sousa

"Coracao Valente". That's what they call Mario Sousa, and is part of the UFC middleweight division's deep end, fighting out of Brazil — 16 pro fights in, still swinging for a number next to his name.

On the feet he's a problem: 2.82 significant strikes a minute at 60% accuracy, and 69% of his wins end in a knockout. The math is bad for anyone standing across from him. Add a 79.5" reach, and the puzzle gets harder still.

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