Gianni Vazquez

Overview

Gianni Vazquez is a Featherweight out of Mexico City who fights for Team Oyama, and his UFC run opened with two losses, one on the scorecards and one inside a round. The Orthodox fighter is 0-2 in the UFC and 14-6-1 across all promotions, so the pre-UFC resume is the stronger part of the picture. The UFC sample is small.

Two fights, no wins yet. Both ended in defeat.

UFC Career

Vazquez debuted at UFC Fight Night: Bautista vs Oliveira in February 2026 against Javid Basharat. The fight went the full three rounds and ended in a unanimous decision loss.

His second fight, at UFC Fight Night: Gamrot vs. Salkilld in August 2026, was shorter. Miles Johns beat him by KO/TKO in round 1 at 3:09.

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

Fighting Style

Vazquez is not a high-volume striker. He lands little, and what he throws doesn't find the mark often. His defense is a notch below what most UFC fighters show, and he takes strikes at about the usual rate.

The grappling is where he stands out. He rarely shoots for takedowns himself, but he is hard to put on the mat. He also hunts for submissions more than most, even though he has no submission wins in the UFC.

Two fights is a thin base for any of this. He is 0-2 in the UFC, with one loss by knockout or TKO and one by decision, and neither loss came by submission.
