Story compiled key victories between 2014 and 2015, defeating Leonardo Mafra in Atlantic City and outworking top prospect Gunnar Nelson over five rounds in Stockholm, Sweden with body hooks and wrestling pressure. His physical strength, inside dirty boxing, and collegiate wrestling control are reflected in a 80 Boxing and 84 Wrestling.
Story defeated former Strikeforce champion Tarec Saffiedine by unanimous decision in Las Vegas in May 2016 before suffering a second-round TKO defeat to Donald Cerrone at UFC 202 in Las Vegas. His durable frame, forward pressure, and body-punching combinations anchor his 79 Boxing and 80 Durability ratings.
