Jimmy Spicuzza knows a thing or three about submissions -- 50 percent of his six professional mixed martial arts (MMA) wins have ended via tapout.
With only one loss to date in his four-fight tenure with World Series of Fighting (WSOF), Spicuzza is "in the mix" for a future date with Lightweight champion Justin Gaethje. In fact, with an impressive win over Islam Mamedov (11-1) this weekend (Sat., Aug. 1, 2015) at WSOF 22 inside Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada,could vault him into contention that much quicker.
Standing in his way is a Russian prospect who is coming off a sensational WSOF debut with a first round technical knockout of Leon Davis at WSOF 20.
