And he has finished his opponent just thrice in that time at the promotion. He also has no fight of the night or performance of the night awards to show, but he is a sturdy fighter who pragmatically approaches each fight and manages to get the job done each time.

He won the UFC welterweight title after beating Kamaru Usman in the title fight later in 2022.
