What It Means: A two-time flyweight title challenger, John Dodson remains one of the toughest outs at 135 pounds. Having never been finished, Dodson provides an almost-annoying challenge for his opponents. His well-rounded skillset, fast footwork and ability to evade strikes and scramble well during grappling exchanges makes him a tough person to put in a bad position. Eventually, opponents get frustrated, and that’s when Dodson can find a tide-turning strike as he showed against Nathaniel Wood.
