Lando “Groovy” Vannata (11-5-2 MMA, 3-5-2 UFC)

Featherweight (145lbs.): 0-0 (UFC)

Lightweight (155lbs.): 3-5-2 (UFC)

Lando Vannata has been in the lightweight division in the big show for close to five years and despite his seemingly unimpressive record he has had quite the respectable career with the promotion. Lando has only been finished by Tony Ferguson in his first fight with the promotion and has produced quite a few epic fight of the night bonus worthy performances.

For UFC 262 Vannata will be trying his hand down a weight class at 145lbs. Vannata is 5’9″ tall, has a 71″ reach, and as far as I can tell has never fought bellow 155lbs. So needless to say, Lando will be a fighter that should be watched while on the scale and on fight night.
