1
- Jamahal Hill
- "Sweet Dreams"
- 12-2-0, 1 NC
-
W vs Glover Texeira (21/01/2023 UFC) - Rather complete performance showing a masterclass striking display and significantly improved take down defense and defensive grappling abilities.
-
2
- Jiří Procházka
- "BJP"
- 30-4-1
-
3
- Magomed Ankalaev
- 19-1-1, 1 NC
-
D vs Jan Blachowicz (10/12/2022 UFC) - Although it's possible the fight was a draw given Jan may have won R1-R3, in hindsight had Ankalaev gameplanned better that may have been a 50-45.
-
4
- Jan Błachowicz
- 29-10-1
-
D vs Magomed Ankalaev (10/12/2022 UFC) - Fought a very Blachowicz fight. Do well with leg kicks and counter striking, then just give up (even in the post-fight interview).
-
5
- Aleksandar Rakić
- "Rocket"
- 14-4-0
-
6
- Johnny Walker
- 21-8-0, 1 NC
-
W vs Anthony Smith (13/5/2023 UFC)
W vs Paul Craig (21/01/2023 UFC) - His ability to KO guys from weird angles is interesting. Too short of a fight to demonstrate how much he's improved. The earlier Cutelaba fight was probably a better indicator.
-
7
- Nikita Krylov
- "The Miner"
- 30-9-0
-
W vs Ryan Spann (11/3/2023 UFC) - Surprisingly good grappling exchange between the two guys resulting in Krylov's submission win.
W vs Volkan Oezdemir (22/10/2022 UFC) - Survived getting rocked by Oezdemir and then outstruck and outwrestled him. Was not a fan of his work on the ground, but better win on points than risk getting booped by Oezdemir
-
8
- Anthony Smith
- "Lionheart"
- 38-19-0
-
L vs Johnny Walker (13/5/2023 UFC)
-
9
- Ryan Spann
- "Superman"
- 21-10-0
-
L vs Nikita Krylov (11/3/2023 UFC) - Fun grappling exchange and Spann did a relatively good job as well, but Krylov was just a much better grappler.
W vs Dominick Reyes (12/11/2022 UFC) - Landed quite a lot of clean blows before getting a sick KO
-
10
- Volkan Oezdemir
- "No Time"
- 19-7-0
-
L vs Nikita Krylov (22/10/2022 UFC) - Once Krylov got his senses back after getting rocked, Oezdemir had no answer for anything Krylov did.
-
11
- Vadim Nemkov
- 18-2-0, 1 NC
-
W vs Corey Anderson (18/11/2022 Bellator) - Really much improved vs the 1st fight stuffing all the takedowns and just outpointing Anderson in the standup
-
12
- Azamat Murzakanov
- "The Professional" | 13-0-0
-
W vs Dustin Jacoby (15/4/2023 UFC) - Quick, tight boxing with explosive power. Gassed in the 3rd
-
13
- Khalil Rountree Jr.
- "The War Horse" | 13-5-0, 1 NC
-
W vs Dustin Jacoby (29/10/2022 UFC) - I flat out disagree with the judging decision, but Rountree did seem to land the more damaging strikes
-
14
- Paul Craig
- "Bearjew" | 17-8-1
-
L vs Johnny Walker (21/01/2023 UFC) - Didn't really get to show much before being taken out whilst holding on to Johnny Walker's leg, attempting to go for a take down.
-
15
- Dominick Reyes
- "The Devastator" | 12-4-0
-
L vs Ryan Spann (12/11/2022 UFC) - It's not just that his chin is shot, his defense was very poor, taking so many clean strikes before the KO
-
16
- Corey Anderson
- "Overtime" | 18-6-0, 1 NC
-
L vs Vadim Nemkov (18/11/2022 Bellator) - Got outpointed in the standup
-
17
- Dustin Jacoby
- "The Hanyak" | 19-8-1
-
L vs Azamat Murzakanov (15/4/2023 UFC) - Murzakanov seemed a lot faster and caught him with some knockdowns
L vs Khalil Rountree (29/10/2022 UFC) - Unfortunately bad judging overshadows the good strategic and technical work Jacoby did in Round 1 and 2
-

- "Razor" | 18-2-0, 1 NC

-
W vs Ihor Potiera (13/5/2023 UFC)
W vs Nicolae Negumereanu (12/11/2022 UFC) - Very Adesanya-esque in his performance. Good leg kicks, range control, evasion and counters. Nicolae had no answer at all.

W vs Chuck Campbell (31/12/2022 Cage Warriors) -
W vs Lee Chadwick (4/11/2022 Cage Warriors) - Kept his range and jabbed his way to a boring decision win. Got clipped a few times against very poor form charging. Even when Chadwick did get him against the cage managed to turn Chadwick in.
-
32
- Devin Clark
- "Brown Bear" | 14-9-0
-
L vs Kennedy Nzechukwu (6/5/2023 UFC)
W vs Da Un Jung (4/2/2023 UFC) - Seemed to have found a clinch game that works for him and a gas tank to support it
-
33
- Dovletdzhan Yagshimuradov
- "Wolfhound" | 22-7-1
-
W vs Julius Anglickas (10/3/2023 Bellator) - Nice in and out technical striking which was noticeably faster than his lumbering opponent. Also took down Anglickas easily.
-
34

- "Sseda" | 15-5-1
-
L vs Devin Clark (4/2/2023 UFC) - Couldn't keep up with the wrestling pace of Clark
-
35
- Alonzo Menifield
- "Atomic" | 15-3-1
-
D vs Jimmy Crute (12/2/2023 UFC) - Good power, but gas tank let him down when he couldn't put Crute away. Had he not grabbed the fence, he would have won.
W vs Misha Cirkunov (15/10/2022 UFC) - Nice striking and then absolute bomb to KO Cirkunov
-
36
- Muslim Magomedov
- 13-0-0
-
ACA
-
37
- Jimmy Crute
- "The Brute" | 12-4-1
-
D vs Alonzo Menifield (12/2/2023 UFC) - Not a big for of his standup and footwork, taking bombs after bombs. But really good heart to keep pushing the pace and squeaking out a draw.
-
38
- Tyson Pedro
- 10-5-0
-
L vs Modestas Bukauskas (12/2/2023 UFC) - Hasn't ever had a gas tank past the 1st round. Probably pushed himself over the limit with the somersault toehold attempt
-
39
- Julius Anglickas
- 10-4-0
-
L vs Dovletdzhan Yagshimuradov (10/3/2023 Bellator) - Looked clueless trying to catch Yagshimuradov and got taken down way too easily.

-
46
- Tanner Boser
- "The Bulldozer" | 21-10-1
-
Previously #54 HW
L vs Ion Cutelaba (15/4/2023 UFC) - Funny thing is if he had defended those strikes against the fence instead of trying to stand up, he would have probably held out and won in R2 or R3.
L vs Rodrigo Nascimento (17/9/2022 UFC) - Was clearly the better stand-up fighter, but just couldn't avoid getting taken down

W vs Gilberto Galvao (14/1/2023 ONE) - Galvao just didn't seem like he wanted to be in this fight.
W vs Yushin Okami (19/11/2022 ONE) - Nice striking and dropped and TKO-ed Okami. Herb Dean probably stopped it a bit too early, but better early than late I guess

W vs Jordan Wright (18/2/2023 UFC) - Ugly strategy of walling Jordan Wright, but made it work and it wasn't as if he wasn't working. Nice elbows on the break. Still made me fall asleep midway through R2.
