Look at this record. Look at all these points that shout: Stop it! It's not for you!
From the beginning of his career until now:
2009-2010 - 4 fight losing streak, 3 consecutive TKOs;
2011 - Second fight in Strikeforce: Embarrassing quick loss to Adlan Amagov, after missing weight
2013 - Lost UFC debut and immediately cut;
2013 - Lost his next fight in regionals, which usually locks the door back to the UFC;
2018 - Lost after the first meaningful winning streak in major organizations.
And then, after being knocked out by MW, decides to move up the division. Where he was supposed to be killed, no matter how shallow that division has become.
And look where he is now.
Here is the clip where he stars: Through Fire - Stronger.
Just like Anthony Smith, Through Fire's genre - NU metal - was supposed to quietly die more than decade ago.
Yet they kick ass today.
