"Caveira". That's what they call Samuel Silva, and is part of the UFC lightweight division's deep end, fighting out of Brazil — 19 pro fights in, still swinging for a number next to his name.
The record shows a bit of everything: knockouts (6), submissions (5), decisions (2). Well-rounded is an overused word; here it's just accurate.
The last fight went to Mandel Nallo (KO/TKO (Punch) R1) — a setback, and the interesting question is always what a fighter does with one.
