Nobody hands you anything at featherweight. Muhammad Naimov — "Hillman" to fight fans — has built a 13-4 record the hard way, one fight at a time since leaving Tajikistan's regional scene.
The record shows a bit of everything: knockouts (6), submissions (2), decisions (5). Well-rounded is an overused word; here it's just accurate.
The last fight went to Mairon Santos (KO/TKO (Punches) R3) — a setback, and the interesting question is always what a fighter does with one.
