"Bocao". That's what they call Mateus Mendonca, and is part of the UFC bantamweight division's deep end, fighting out of Brazil — 13 pro fights in, still swinging for a number next to his name.
Wrestling is the skeleton key here — 2.5 takedowns a round on average. Everything opponents want to do standing gets interrupted, smothered, and dragged to the canvas.
The last fight went to Jesus Aguilar (Decision - Split) — a setback, and the interesting question is always what a fighter does with one.
