The former Featherweight Champion is already a veteran at the age of 30. He joined UFC when he was 20, becoming the youngest ever fighter on the roster.

He set the record for most significant strikes landed in a fight(290 vs Ortega), then broke it 2 fights later(445 vs Kattar). His style is primarily boxing, but he is well rounded.

Some of his fights you should watch for a start are:

2. Justin ‘The Highlight’ Gaethje

The human highlight, Gaethje.

Justin relies on vicious leg kicks, uppercuts and hooks. He is the most violent man in the UFC, nothing left to say.

Watch:

3. Francis ‘The Predator Ngannou

5. Nate Diaz:

Warning!!! Nate is 36, and he’s washed. He hasn’t won a fight in 2 years.

But bro! When Diaz fights, win or lose, it’s sure to be a banger.

He’s the toughest guy you can find out there and he takes a beating better than anyone else.

He smokes marijuana at press conferences, bleeds like butchered meat in the cage, slaps his opponents during fights and flips the middle finger at everybody.

He likes to stand and box but his BJJ is very deadly; almost all of his finishes are by submission.
