Profile
Overview
Luis Gurule lands strikes at a rate far above the UFC average, and he is 1-4 in the UFC. Both are true, and the second is why the first needs context.
"Grim" is a Denver-born flyweight who trains with Good Guys MMA and fights out of an Orthodox stance. His professional record across all promotions is 11-4-0, but the UFC record is 1-4. He debuted in 2025 and carries a loss into his next fight.
Volume is there. Results haven't followed yet.
UFC Career
Gurule fought Nick Piccininni on Dana White's Contender Series, a split decision win across three rounds. That fight is a professional result, not part of his UFC record.
His UFC debut came against Ode Osbourne, and it ended in a second-round KO/TKO loss at 1:54. His next two fights both went the distance and both went the wrong way: a unanimous decision loss to Jesus Aguilar at Noche UFC, then another to Alden Coria.
The UFC win came in May 2026, a unanimous decision over Daniel Barez. It is the only win on his UFC ledger, and the longest win streak he has had is one fight.
Two weeks later he met Rei Tsuruya, an opponent our model rates as strong, and lost by submission in the first round at 3:19.
Five UFC fights, one win, and no finishes in either direction in his favor.
Fighting Style
Gurule is a busy striker who throws a lot and is hard to hit cleanly. He lands more than most UFC fighters and defends better than most, though he still takes some damage along the way. His accuracy is about average, so the volume comes from pace rather than precision.
He rarely shoots for takedowns and hunts for few submissions. When opponents try to take him down, he stops them more often than most.
The fight list fits that profile. His one UFC win came by decision, and two of his four losses also went the distance. The other two losses ended in a stoppage, one by knockout or TKO and one by submission.
Notable Wins
- Daniel Barez — unanimous decision, round 3, UFC Fight Night: Allen vs Costa (2026)
