Alatengheili

Overview

Ten UFC fights, nine of them decided by the judges, and only one inside the distance.

Alatengheili, "The Mongolian Knight," fights at bantamweight out of Red Hawk Academy and holds a 6-3-1 UFC record. His 18-10-2 professional record covers every promotion he has fought in. The UFC portion is a pattern: close rounds, three-round fights, scorecards. Five of his six UFC wins went to decision, and all three losses did too.

He enters his next fight on a one-fight win streak. His longest in the UFC is two.

Never knocked out, never submitted. He also rarely ends anyone else's night.

UFC Career

Alatengheili debuted on August 30, 2019, at UFC Fight Night: Andrade vs. Zhang, beating Batgerel Danaa by unanimous decision. He followed with a split decision over Ryan Benoit in December 2019, a 2-0 start.

Casey Kenney handed him his first UFC loss by unanimous decision in October 2020. His next outing, against Gustavo Lopez in September 2021, ended in a draw after three rounds.

The one stoppage came in April 2022. He finished Kevin Croom by KO/TKO at 0:47 of round 1. He then beat Chad Anheliger by unanimous decision at UFC 279, which gave him his two-fight win streak.

A unanimous decision loss to Chris Gutierrez in October 2023 ended the run. He answered with a unanimous decision win over Kleydson Rodrigues in May 2024, then dropped a unanimous decision to Da'Mon Blackshear in April 2025. A split decision win over John Castaneda followed.

The pattern holds across a decade of cards. Every fight except one went the full 15 minutes.

Fighting Style

Alatengheili is a fighter who is hard to hit and hard to take down. He lands strikes at a modest pace, and his accuracy is poor, so he doesn't score much on the feet. What he does well is avoid damage, and that fits a record with no stoppage losses.

His wrestling is the stronger side of his game. He shoots for takedowns more often than most, and opponents have a very hard time putting him on the mat. He rarely hunts for submissions, so his takedowns look aimed at controlling a fight rather than finishing it.

The results match. Five of his six UFC wins have come by decision, and his lone finish was a first-round knockout. All three of his losses went the distance.
