Profile
Overview
Fifteen wins and one loss as a pro, and the only UFC data point so far is a unanimous decision. Hecher Sosa, "Guanche Warrior," is a bantamweight from Arrecife in the Canary Islands, fighting out of AFC VILLALBA / BJJ GANDO. His UFC record is 1-0.
It's a small sample. What exists points in one direction.
UFC Career
Sosa appeared on Dana White's Contender Series in September 2025, where he beat Macksom Lee by unanimous decision over three rounds. That fight sits outside his UFC record.
His UFC debut came in March 2026 at UFC Fight Night: Emmett vs Vallejos, a unanimous decision over Luan Lacerda, going the full three rounds. No finishes yet, and no wins over elite opponents. He carries a one-fight win streak into his next bout.
Fighting Style
The career numbers describe a fighter who is hard to hit and hard to take down. He lands more strikes per minute than most in the UFC and absorbs far fewer than the average, with solid striking defense and strong takedown defense. He also generates takedown attempts and submission attempts at a clip well above most, which fits a gym with BJJ in its name.
Both UFC-era wins went the distance, so there is no finishing pattern to speak of yet. Whether the grappling volume turns into stoppages is the open question.
