Nobody hands you anything at lightweight. Paul Felder — "The Irish Dragon" to fight fans — has built a 17-6 record the hard way, one fight at a time since leaving the United States's regional scene.
The record shows a bit of everything: knockouts (10), submissions (1), decisions (6). Well-rounded is an overused word; here it's just accurate.
The last fight went to Rafael Dos Anjos (Decision - Split) — a setback, and the interesting question is always what a fighter does with one.
He's 42 now. Fighters at this stage aren't building toward something; they're spending what's left, and that usually makes for the best fights.
