It has taken Eddie Wineland a long time to earn the respect of ardent MMA fans, but the Texas native was actually the first-ever WEC Bantamweight Champion. He took the belt in 2006 with a knockout over Antonio Banuelos, but would go on to lose his first title defense to Chase Beebe. When Wineland made his way back to the WEC in 2009, he established himself as one of the top contenders in the division, defeating the likes of Manny Tapia and George Roop, among others, prior to joining the UFC in 2011.
Although his ground game has improved drastically over the last few years, Wineland is known above all else for his incredible knockout power. His punching power could easily be considered the best in the bantamweight division. Wineland often relies on a sprawl-and-brawl approach, displaying impressive takedown defense and a killer instinct that is unmatched in the division.
Wineland cites his younger brother, a burn victim, as a constant source of inspiration and resolve for his own career.
