Nobody hands you anything at welterweight. Rinat Fakhretdinov — "Gladiator" to fight fans — has built a 24-1 record the hard way, one fight at a time since leaving Russia's regional scene.
The game is built on grappling: 3.9 takedowns per 15 minutes, and opponents spend rounds defending instead of fighting. 7 submission wins say what happens when the defense slips.
He arrives on a 3-fight win streak — most recently Andreas Gustafsson, KO/TKO (Punches) R1. Streaks like that don't stay unnoticed for long.
