Axel Sola

Axel Sola, a 6'0" southpaw from France, holds an 11-1-1 professional record with recent mixed results in the lightweight division. The 27-year-old operates as a volume striker with moderate output, landing 4.07 strikes per minute at 45% accuracy while absorbing 5.29 per minute and defending 61% of incoming strikes.

Sola's grappling approach is selective—he averages 2.22 takedown attempts per 15 minutes at 36% accuracy but has shown zero takedown defense, suggesting limited wrestling credentials. His cardio score of 54.2 indicates moderate conditioning, though his KO score of 16.1 reflects respectable finishing power.

Recent form has been inconsistent: Sola scored a third-round TKO over Rhys McKee in September 2025, demonstrating his striking capacity, but subsequently suffered a unanimous decision loss to Mason Jones in March 2026. With no submission threat in his arsenal and a defensive wrestling gap, Sola relies heavily on his striking volume and power to create separation.

His next assignment will require addressing the takedown defense vulnerability exposed at lightweight, where elite grapplers can exploit his current technical deficiencies.
