Miguel Baeza is a UFC Welterweight fighter who has made his mark on the sport with his impressive skill set, fiery attitude and highly entertaining style of fighting. A native of Miami, Florida, he began training in martial arts at the age of 12 and soon developed into an accomplished competitor.

Miguel showcased superior hand speed to land several heavy shot combinations throughout their 3 round affair; eventually putting away Brown via TKO late in round 3 to pick up arguably one of the best KO wins so far this year.
