Denys Bondar

Overview

Denys Bondar's UFC statistics read like a winning fighter's. His results haven't matched them: 0-3 in the UFC, with all three losses coming at flyweight. The Ukrainian, nicknamed "Psycho," is 14-5 across all promotions, so the pro record outside the UFC is much better than what he has produced inside it.

He carries a three-fight losing streak into his next bout.

UFC Career

Bondar's debut year was 2021, but his first UFC fight in the data came in February 2022, when Malcolm Gordon stopped him with a KO/TKO at 1:22 of the first round. In June 2023 he went the distance with Carlos Hernandez and lost a unanimous decision, with the final bell coming at 4:59 of round three. In February 2024, Ronaldo Rodriguez submitted him at 4:59 of the second round.

One stoppage, one submission, one decision. No pattern to the losses, and no wins to offset them.

Fighting Style

Bondar is a wrestling-based fighter who also lands his share on the feet. He is a busy, accurate striker who defends well against strikes. He also takes opponents down often and is very hard to take down himself.

The weak spot is damage. He absorbs more strikes than most, even while landing plenty of his own. He also rarely hunts for submissions, so the takedowns don't lead to many finishing attempts.

In the UFC he is 0-3, with a loss by knockout, one by submission and one by decision. He has not yet earned a win or a finish in the promotion.
