Anthony Wint
The first two minutes. Four finishes inside 45 seconds, and a level change into a takedown defence that nobody in six professional fights has ever made him show.
Last three wins in a combined 1:42 — 0:31, 0:37 and 0:34. No heavyweight on this card resolves fights faster.
Wrestling since age nine, by his own account his bread and butter, into a man with zero public takedown-defence evidence across six professional fights.
D1 linebacker at FIU, an NFL active roster, a forced fumble against Green Bay. First-step explosiveness is the rarest commodity at heavyweight.
Kill Cliff FC under Henri Hooft, training beside Robbie Lawler and Impa Kasanganay, against a well-regarded but purely local Houston gym.
7-0, never dropped, never stopped, never behind on a card he needed. Chatman has already been beaten by a modest regional heavyweight over five rounds.
11 of 13 significant strikes landed on the mat in the Matt Adams finish — at UFC-adjacent level, eleven days ago, in front of the people who signed him.
- 1Attack immediately
His profile is not a strategy that unfolds — it is a detonation. The first ninety seconds are worth more to him than the remaining thirteen and a half minutes combined.
- 2Mix the level change into the first exchange
Make Chatman defend a shot before he has any read on the striking, and expose the one skill nobody in six professional fights has tested.
- 3Do not hunt the submission first
If the takedown lands, the Adams finish is the template: posture and ground-and-pound, not a scramble into a choke against a 265 lb man.
- 4Use the 78-inch reach
Keep the bigger man at the end of punches and never let a near-265 lb heavyweight collect him against the fence.
- 5Check the leg kicks from minute one
His entire game is the first step, and Torres lost a leg to this man three weeks of preparation ago. Contingency: if the early burst misses and Round 1 ends upright, abandon the knockout hunt and wrestle in Round 2 — top position wins rounds against a man with no ground game, and the Garcia Diaz R2 3:12 finish proves he can build one.
