Raquel Pennington

"Rocky". That's what they call Raquel Pennington, and is ranked #2 at UFC women's bantamweight — close enough to smell the title, dangerous enough that champions don't say his name too loudly.

He fights at a pace most of the division can't hold — 4.1 strikes landed a minute, every minute. By round three, opponents are usually fighting his fight.

The last fight went to Julianna Peña (Decision - Split) — a setback, and the interesting question is always what a fighter does with one.

He's 37 now. Fighters at this stage aren't building toward something; they're spending what's left, and that usually makes for the best fights.
