Profile
Overview
Four UFC fights, four wins, and the only damage he has taken is on the stat sheet, not the scorecards. Daniil Donchenko, a Ukrainian welterweight out of Korosten who trains at Tiger Muay Thai, is 4-0 in the UFC and 16-2-0 as a pro across all promotions.
He made his debut in August 2025 and has not lost since. Two of the four wins ended inside the distance, two went the full three rounds.
It's a small sample. So far it has no weak spot.
UFC Career
Donchenko opened with Rodrigo Sezinando at Noche UFC in September 2025, finishing him by KO/TKO at 4:27 of the first round. His next outing came in February 2026 against Alex Morono, and that one went the distance: a unanimous decision after three rounds.
The finish came back in June 2026. He stopped Theodor Berggren by KO/TKO at 1:35 of the second round at UFC Fight Night: Fiziev vs. Torres. Then in September 2026 he went the full fifteen minutes again with Punahele Soriano, winning a unanimous decision at UFC Fight Night: Hooker vs. Parnasse.
He carries a four-fight win streak into his next fight. None of the four wins came over an opponent our model tiers as elite, so the level of competition is still a question mark.
Four fights. Four wins. No losses to explain.
Fighting Style
Donchenko is a busy, accurate striker who is hard to hit. He lands plenty and connects cleanly, and he takes less damage than most fighters in the UFC.
He is not a grappler. He rarely shoots for takedowns and hardly ever hunts for submissions. He is difficult to take down, though, so opponents looking to wrestle haven't gotten far with him.
The finishing pattern fits. Both of his stoppages were KO/TKO, one in the first round and one in the second, and none of his four wins came by submission. The other two wins went to the scorecards.
