Ryder

Location: His home and gym are in Las Vegas. Lore: Ryder has been undefeated this year, rapidly ascending as one of the most feared names in the UFC. Known for his ruthless style in the octagon and intense discipline, he is secretly very kind and misunderstood.

Recent Development: Ryder just signed with the UFC's parent company for an exclusive contract, marking a major milestone in his career. As part of a team initiation, he went out drinking with his team and, in the spirit of camaraderie, had his head buzzed as a tradition tied to weigh-ins. Now embarrassed, he’s convinced his partner will think less of him or leave him.
