Angel Pacheco

Overview

Two UFC fights, two trips to the scorecards, and no finish on either side. Angel Pacheco is an orthodox Bantamweight from Willmar, Minnesota, with a 0-2 UFC record and a 7-4-0 professional record across all promotions. He has lost both UFC fights by unanimous decision and carries a two-fight losing streak into his next outing. It's a small sample, but it shows a fighter who has gone the distance every time.

UFC Career

Pacheco's path to the UFC ran through Dana White's Contender Series, where he lost a unanimous decision to Danny Silva in September 2023. That fight counts toward his professional record but not his UFC record.

His UFC debut came at UFC Fight Night: Blanchfield vs. Fiorot in March 2024, where Caolan Loughran took a unanimous decision over three rounds. Nearly two years later, at UFC Fight Night: Moreno vs Kavanagh in February 2026, Santiago Luna won another unanimous decision.

Both UFC losses went the full 15 minutes. He hasn't been finished.

Fighting Style

Pacheco is a high-volume striker who throws far more than most of the UFC roster. He rarely shoots for takedowns and doesn't hunt for submissions, so his offense is built almost entirely on striking.

The trade-off is defense. He gets hit more than most fighters and is easy to hit cleanly. He also gets taken down more than most, so opponents can land on him and take the fight to the mat when they choose. His accuracy is a little below the UFC average, which means a lot of that output doesn't land.

In the UFC, he is 0-2, with both losses coming by decision. He has not yet finished a fight.
