He debuted in the UFC and 20 months later was the champ.
He had 1 MMA fight in 2012, 1 in 2013. In 2015 he had 3 MMA fights and 5 boxing fights, but was also kickboxing until 2017.
That is insane when you think about it. He really only has been solely focusing on MMA since the very end of 2017 early 2018. Not even 2 years of primarily focusing on MMA and he is already the UFC champ.
I know he had 6 years of previous striking experience, but it goes to show that if the right person gets into it, it wont take long to become elite.
