Nobody hands you anything at bantamweight. SuYoung You — "Yoo-Jitsu" to fight fans — has built a 16-4 record the hard way, one fight at a time since leaving South Korea's regional scene.
The game is built on grappling: 3.8 takedowns per 15 minutes, and opponents spend rounds defending instead of fighting. 5 submission wins say what happens when the defense slips.
He's coming off a loss to Elijah Smith. Careers aren't defined by the fall, though; they're defined by the rebound.
