Eddie Wineland  (24-13-1 MMA, 6-7 UFC)

Eddie Wineland has 14 wins by KO/TKO and 5 wins by submission during his professional mixed martial arts career. Eddie has just four wins by decision. Wineland has been around the fight game for a long long time. Wineland has some amazing finishes in both the UFC and the now-dissolved WEC, including a highlight-reel slam KO over Ken Stone back in 2010.

Eddie Wineland is a very good scrapper that is able to create amazing angles during flurries in order to land the sheer power that he possesses in his hands. As an orthodox fighter, Eddie’s right hand has really put away a lot of men in a  very spectacular fashion. It really doesn’t even matter whether it’s the straight or the hook, Eddie’s right hand has more than enough power to put any of his opponents away. At 135lbs, a lighter male weight class, Eddie is nearing the tail end of his career but the last attribute to dissipate in many fighters is the power. Eddie’s last time out was almost exactly a year ago from UFC 250 and resulted in a second-round KO, with right cross, of Grigorii Popov. Wineland isn’t done just yet and is still a very dangerous fighter.
