Nobody hands you anything at lightweight. Sodiq Yusuff — "Super" to fight fans — has built a 13-5 record the hard way, one fight at a time since leaving Nigeria's regional scene.

He fights at a pace most of the division can't hold — 5.27 strikes landed a minute, every minute. By round three, opponents are usually fighting his fight.

The last fight went to Mairon Santos (Decision - Unanimous) — a setback, and the interesting question is always what a fighter does with one.
