Roman Bogatov
#128 Lightweight
1st UFC FightHas never lost a fight but all against a lower level of competition. 5 SUB all by some form of choke. Low power, low volume wrestler. Content with smothering opponent in slow paced match. His 10 opponents have a 129-55 combined record. Only way he gets there is by submission and Santos has never been submitted. Capable of racking of TDs against inferior opponents, however Santos has an 86% TD Defense. Haven't seen him use his striking.
