Kevin Christian is part of the UFC light heavyweight division's deep end, fighting out of Brazil — 13 pro fights in, still swinging for a number next to his name.
A submission threat first and always — 5 taps forced in 9 wins. Every exchange on the mat carries a trap door. Add a 80" reach, and the puzzle gets harder still.
The last fight went to Junior Tafa (KO/TKO (Elbows) R1) — a setback, and the interesting question is always what a fighter does with one.
