6. Don't Count A Fighter Out Just Because They're A Model
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8ATMGiidQk A lot of people counted Alan Jouban out in his UFC debut against Seth Baczynski, What Culture included. So it's time to own up to the fact that our predictions don't always pan out, and sometimes newcomers shock us. Jouban, who has fought in RFA in the past (Resurrection Fighting Alliance, a solid regional promotion), came into the UFC as a relative unknown with a modelling background and a 9-2 record. He exited the fight with his first UFC win, a stunning knockout after exchanging knees with the IFL and UFC vet Baczynski. Good for Jouban. We'll be paying much closer attention to his next fight.
