Win Methods
Nobody hands you anything at bantamweight. Saimon Oliveira has built a 18-7 record the hard way, one fight at a time since leaving Brazil's regional scene.
A submission threat first and always — 11 taps forced in 18 wins. Every exchange on the mat carries a trap door.
The last fight went to Luan Lacerda (Submission (Armbar) R2) — a setback, and the interesting question is always what a fighter does with one.
