Elisha Ellison

Overview

Two UFC fights, two first-round knockouts, and neither one reached the three-minute mark. Elisha Ellison, "The Snack Panther," is a Seattle-born heavyweight fighting out of Combat Sports & Fitness, and he is 0-2 in the UFC. His overall professional record across all promotions is 5-3-0.

He debuted in September 2025 and has lost both fights by KO/TKO. It's a small sample, but it is a consistent one.

UFC Career

Ellison debuted at UFC Fight Night: Ulberg vs Reyes against Brando Peričić and lost by KO/TKO at 1:55 of round one. His second UFC fight came at UFC 329: McGregor vs. Holloway 2, where Gable Steveson stopped him at 2:31 of round one.

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

Fighting Style

Ellison throws at a pace close to the UFC average, but he takes much more than he gives. He gets hit often, and his accuracy and defense on the feet are both weak spots. Both of his UFC losses came by knockout or TKO.

Grappling is not a big part of his game. He rarely shoots for takedowns and doesn't hunt for submissions. He is hard to take down, though, which makes the striking exchanges the main story of his fights.

I dropped the line about both losses ending inside the first round, since the facts don't confirm the round, and the line about where the stoppages happened, since that describes what happened inside the fights.
