"Quik". That's what they call Montel Jackson, and is part of the UFC bantamweight division's deep end, fighting out of the United States — 19 pro fights in, still swinging for a number next to his name.
Wrestling is the skeleton key here — 2.7 takedowns a round on average. Everything opponents want to do standing gets interrupted, smothered, and dragged to the canvas. Add the southpaw stance, and the puzzle gets harder still.
The last fight went to Raoni Barcelos (Decision - Split) — a setback, and the interesting question is always what a fighter does with one.
