May need some chest experts to examine that body. o_OMaybe the first newcomer to get shooped?

He is 1 year older, but only has a 5:1 record
Striking looks a little more stiff with way less head movement.
Despite being a little shorter and fighting 10 pounds south.
Looks like Ilia in his earlier fights.

His TKO loss was against a 155er.


His last fight.



Highlights
 
Feel like he might go the way of Fig's bro. 6 fights is a pitiful amount of experience to have coming onto the UFC unless you have a decorated background in a different combat sport, or are a truly special talent.
 
I don't know if he has the skill or the mindset of Ilia. He took a 5 year break after his tko loss and came back to fight a guy with a 7-18-1 record. Let's see how this plays out

Damn, Dana really doing anything he can to get that Spanish Peso
