Mounir Lazzez

Nobody hands you anything at welterweight. Mounir Lazzez — "The Sniper" to fight fans — has built a 11-3 record the hard way, one fight at a time since leaving Tunisia's regional scene.

This is power striking with numbers behind it — 8 KO/TKO wins, 7.49 significant strikes landed per minute. Opponents don't get outpointed so much as dismantled. Add a 76" reach, and the puzzle gets harder still.

The last fight went to Gabriel Bonfim (Submission (Guillotine Choke) R1) — a setback, and the interesting question is always what a fighter does with one.

He's 38 now. Fighters at this stage aren't building toward something; they're spending what's left, and that usually makes for the best fights.
