STRENGTHS
Fantastic Kickboxing Technique: Has improved his striking game since becoming a fighter, Byron has a counter left that could change an entire fight.
Methodical: Byron scouts and trains for a fight. He develops a game plan, and looks to set out on it as the fight goes on. If something works, Byron will exploit it to its fullest potential.
Will: Byron’s endurance and heart have always been shown to be resilient in the cage. He fights his heart out, every single time he steps into the cage. Sometimes this proves to be the difference maker for him.
WEAKNESSES
Damage: Byron has taken a lot of damage throughout his career, after some lengthy fights. He cuts easily, and has been knocked out a few times.
Ground Game: His defense has improved, but Byron does not really succeed on the ground like other fighters. It has always been a glaring hole in his game, but he’s always looking to improve it.
Strength: Byron has never been a power puncher. While he has knocked opponents out, it’s been done because of his game plan. A flash KO or one punch knockout will only happen because of proper positioning. A bigger opponent will almost always be able to gain control of Byron, because of his lack of size.

BACKSTORY
Byron is a methodical fighter, formed by the training and mentoring of his coach. George Parker has worked with a few camps, but focused on perfecting Byron’s craft. From that came the mentality Byron has stuck with since the beginning. Form a game plan, stick to it, and execute. Byron is not a wild card, and he does not break easily. He has morphed from his time as a professional wrestler, into a Hall of Fame mixed martial artist.
