Torrez Finney

Nobody hands you anything at middleweight. Torrez Finney — "The Punisher" to fight fans — has built a 11-1 record the hard way, one fight at a time since leaving the United States's regional scene.

The game is built on grappling: 6.9 takedowns per 15 minutes, and opponents spend rounds defending instead of fighting. 1 submission wins say what happens when the defense slips.

He's coming off a loss to Jacob Malkoun. Careers aren't defined by the fall, though; they're defined by the rebound.
