Profile
Overview
Bolaji Oki has never finished a UFC fight and has never been finished by a decision-only opponent. The same fighter has also lost three straight inside the UFC, two of them by KO/TKO. The "Zulu Warrior" is a Belgian featherweight out of Jette, Brussels, fighting for Valon Team, and his UFC record is 2-4. All five of his UFC fights and wins ended on the scorecards or not at all: both UFC wins are decisions.
He carries a three-fight losing streak into his next fight. His best run in the UFC is one win at a time.
UFC Career
Oki came through Dana White's Contender Series 7.4 in August 2023 with a first-round KO/TKO of Dylan Salvador at 2:46. That fight sits outside his UFC record, but it is his only stoppage win on the list. He debuted in the UFC in February 2024 and took a split decision from Timmy Cuamba.
His second UFC fight went wrong fast: Chris Duncan submitted him in round 1 at 3:34. He answered in May 2025 with a unanimous decision over Michael Aswell Jr..
Then the slide started. Mason Jones stopped him in round 2 at 3:18, and Manoel Sousa did the same in round 3 at 4:12. Daniel Santos took a unanimous decision at UFC 333.
Three straight losses, and he has not had a win since May 2025.
Fighting Style
Oki is a busy striker who throws and lands at a high clip. He defends strikes well and is very hard to take down, though he still absorbs more than most fighters. His accuracy is about what you'd expect from the average UFC fighter.
He rarely shoots for takedowns himself and almost never hunts for submissions. His work is built around standing exchanges and staying on his feet.
Both of his UFC wins went to the judges, with no finishes on his record. Two of his four losses came by KO/TKO and one by submission, so his defensive numbers haven't kept him from being stopped.
Notable Wins
- Michael Aswell Jr. — unanimous decision, round 3, UFC Fight Night: Gamrot vs Klein (2025)
- Timmy Cuamba — split decision, round 3, UFC Fight Night: Hermansson vs. Pyfer (2024)
