"Smokin'". That's what they call Shane Young, and is part of the UFC featherweight division's deep end, fighting out of New Zealand — 21 pro fights in, still swinging for a number next to his name.
Volume is the weapon: 5.19 significant strikes a minute on 42% accuracy. Rounds get won on attrition — opponents drown in output long before the final bell.
He's coming off a loss to Gabriel Miranda. Careers aren't defined by the fall, though; they're defined by the rebound.
