Alex Cabanes

Did you know?

• ▸ Only 1 of Alex Cabanes' 7 recorded wins came by submission, a 14 percent submission win rate that sits well below the site average of 40 percent. Most of his wins came on the scoreboard through points, advantages, and penalties.
• ▸ Cabanes' recorded matches run from 2015 to 2018, with 2018 his busiest year at 7 matches. That single year accounts for nearly half of his 16 matches on record.
