Profile
Overview
Fernie Garcia's UFC record is 0-4, and three of those losses went the full 15 minutes. Whatever else is true, he has been in competitive-length fights more often than he has been finished.
He is a Bantamweight out of Fortis MMA, with a 10-5-0 professional record across all promotions. His 2021 appearance on Dana White's Contender Series, a first-round TKO of Joshua Weems in 2:10, is a professional win but not part of his UFC record. That one is the best result on his sheet. The UFC part has not followed.
He carries a four-fight losing streak into his next bout.
UFC Career
Garcia debuted at UFC 274 in May 2022 and dropped a unanimous decision to Journey Newson. Six months later came another unanimous decision loss, to Brady Hiestand.
The third, in August 2023, was against Rinya Nakamura, an opponent our model rates as strong. Same result: three rounds, unanimous decision, a loss.
His fourth fight ended differently. Hyder Amil stopped him by KO/TKO at 2:12 of the second round in February 2024.
Four fights, no wins, and no fight ending in his favor.
Fighting Style
Fernie Garcia has had trouble creating offense in the UFC. He lands fewer strikes per minute than most fighters, and his accuracy is well below the mark, so many of his shots miss. He also rarely shoots for takedowns, which leaves little wrestling to make up for the striking gap.
His defense is more even. He takes strikes, defends strikes and stops takedowns at about the rate of a typical UFC fighter, and his submission attempts are also average.
That leaves a fighter without a glaring hole but also without a trait that reliably wins rounds. He is 0-4 in the UFC with no finishes, and three of his losses have gone to the judges, which fits that profile. It is a small sample, but the pattern holds.
