Direct from Wiki. 6 years in the UFC.
Initially signed a 4 fight contract. He has fought 8 times since. He has pulled out of 4 fights over that period for his own reasons and missed out on 2 due to covid. A failed drug test that was later overturned cost him this fight a couple years ago. He is basically exactly where he was in 2016 due to inactivity. His best win is probably Davi Ramos who I personally rate but has been shown to be beatable on the feet as you would expect from a late transitioning BJJ fighter.
Dober will be his best win and should get him another fight around that top 10-15 range. I believe RDA would have ran through him even though tough wrestlers are his kryptonite.
