Signature Victories (Analyst’s Picks)
- David Branch (UFC 230): middleweight debut statement—clean, powerful finishing sequence.
- Anderson Silva (UFC 237): disciplined leg-kick dismantling of a legend.
- Jack Hermansson (Copenhagen): patience under pressure; late burst and precision.
- Marvin Vettori (UFC on ESPN 47): five-round record-setting striking volume (241 significant strikes).
Stylistic Snapshot
Cannonier excels at calf kicks, patient counterpunching, and late-round power surges. He frames well in the pocket, parries straight shots, and mixes stance-breaking low kicks with level-changing feints to draw out counters—tech that travels across five rounds.
From FAA Tech to UFC Contender
Before MMA, Cannonier maintained air-traffic-control equipment for the FAA in Alaska and served in the U.S. Army. His well-documented weight-loss journey (from 300+ pounds) coincided with the birth of his first child and a renewed athletic focus.
