Ryan Loder, better known as "Man of Steel", brings a 8-3 record into every walk to the cage — and in a division as crowded as middleweight, every single win matters.
This is power striking with numbers behind it — 5 KO/TKO wins, 5.1 significant strikes landed per minute. Opponents don't get outpointed so much as dismantled. Add the southpaw stance and a 76.5" reach, and the puzzle gets harder still.
The last fight went to Ismail Naurdiev (KO/TKO (Punch) R1) — a setback, and the interesting question is always what a fighter does with one.
