Win Methods
"El Gato Loco". That's what they call Rodrigo Vera, and is part of the UFC featherweight division's deep end, fighting out of Peru — 24 pro fights in, still swinging for a number next to his name.
The record shows a bit of everything: knockouts (9), submissions (3), decisions (10). Well-rounded is an overused word; here it's just accurate.
The form line is loud: 5 straight wins, the latest over Zhu Kangjie (KO/TKO (Punches) R1). Momentum like that forces the division's hand.
