Need help remembering a fighter

[CroCopsLHK]

Nothing too special about him it's just someone i can't quite recall yet remember. Someone whose name/identity are on the tip of my tongue. Sheer annoyed curiosity. I know I'm not imagining this person. Anyway here's what I remember:

- In what was i believe his UFC debut he suffered a very unusual and awful injury. I believe a broken neck or something similar
- Sort of looked like a hybrid of Josh Koscheck and Carlos Newton. Blonde hair, possibly braids/curls, darker skin, ankle wraps
- Strange name (Octavious?)
- Fought in UFC about 2-4 times, I believe he was win less, about 5-7 years ago
- No larger than a middleweight
- Possibly South American but not brazillian

Sorry if a bit murky on details but hope that helps!!!

95% sure Imavov broke vertebra in Jordan Williams neck during that beating

Charlie O has a TKO win via heart attack. He's had quite the odd career.

LOL based on your description (minus the broken neck), I was thinking Jonathan Brookins

The way he's holding him just screams and injury is about to happen

Following up on this fight because I'm a depraved bored MMA need I read that they were friends and Kevin fought him to let him get his foot into UFC (Charlie had a mediocre career and record but DID fight some bangers coming up like Neal and MVP). I also read that Charlie was free of injuries. I trust him though because the way Hollands shoulder was tucked to his chin for the trip it looked very rough

Will never forget Charlie rocking someone with an axe kick. What a strange career he had. In the few fights I saw of his he had unspoken potential, sad it didn't pan out

Guess this is what I miss by skipping prelims
