Karl Williams

Karl Williams holds a 10-2 professional record and competes as an orthodox heavyweight standing 6'3" with a 79-inch reach. The 34-year-old is a grapple-heavy fighter who averages 4.20 takedowns per 15 minutes with perfect 100% takedown defense, though his striking output remains modest at 2.68 strikes landed per minute with 48% accuracy.

Williams absorbs 2.15 strikes per minute while maintaining 55% striking defense, indicating a durable fighter who controls pace through wrestling rather than volume striking. Over his recent five-fight stretch, Williams compiled a 4-1 record, notching unanimous decision victories over Chase Sherman (May 2023), Justin Tafa (March 2024), and Lukasz Brzeski (March 2023), though he suffered a setback via unanimous decision loss to Jhonata Diniz in August 2024.

His submission threat remains minimal at 0.2 submissions per 15 minutes, suggesting he relies on positional control and ground-and-pound rather than seeking finishes. Williams' path forward depends on bouncing back from the Diniz loss and reasserting his grappling dominance in the heavyweight division.
