Known for his fearless attitude and aggressive Muay Thai, Cowboy built a reputation for dangerous head kicks, sharp combinations, and slick submissions. He competed across lightweight and welterweight, constantly taking on elite opposition instead of waiting for easy matchups.

His record includes 10 knockout wins and 17 submission victories, showing he could finish opponents on the feet or on the ground.
