Nobody hands you anything at flyweight. Matheus Nicolau has built a 19-6 record the hard way, one fight at a time since leaving Brazil's regional scene.

The record shows a bit of everything: knockouts (5), submissions (5), decisions (9). Well-rounded is an overused word; here it's just accurate.

The last fight went to Asu Almabayev (Decision - Unanimous) — a setback, and the interesting question is always what a fighter does with one.
