Otari Tanzilovi

Nobody hands you anything at bantamweight. Otari Tanzilovi has built a 10-2 record the hard way, one fight at a time since leaving Georgia's regional scene.

The game is built on grappling: 4 takedowns per 15 minutes, and opponents spend rounds defending instead of fighting. Once it hits the mat, the fight tends to stay there.

He's coming off a loss to Shane Collins. Careers aren't defined by the fall, though; they're defined by the rebound.
