Mansur Abdul-Malik

Overview

Three UFC wins, three finishes, and not one of them reached a decision. Mansur Abdul-Malik fights at middleweight, and his UFC record is 3-2-1 with two knockouts and a submission on the win side.

Then the two most recent fights went the other way. Abdul-Malik now carries a two-fight losing streak, and both losses were finishes against him, one by KO/TKO and one by submission. A fighter who ends fights has also been ending up on the wrong side of them lately.

UFC Career

Abdul-Malik's UFC run followed a Dana White's Contender Series win over Wes Schultz by KO/TKO in round 2 in August 2024. That fight isn't part of his UFC record, but his UFC debut came a few months later.

He debuted in November 2024 with a first-round KO/TKO of Duško Todorović at 2:44. A second-round KO/TKO of Nick Klein followed in February 2025, which is his longest win streak at two.

The streak ended in June 2025 against Cody Brundage, a majority draw that went the full three rounds. It's the only UFC fight of his that didn't end in a stoppage.

He bounced back at UFC 323 with a submission of Antonio Trocoli in round 1 at 1:09. Then came the losses: a round 3 KO/TKO against Yousri Belgaroui at 3:39, and a round 2 submission against Dustin Stoltzfus at 4:25.

Six UFC fights, and none have gone to the scorecards for a winner.

Fighting Style

His striking output and accuracy are about what you'd expect from a UFC fighter, but he takes a lot of punishment. He gets hit more than most and is easier to hit clean, which fits a record that includes a knockout loss.

On the ground, he is very hard to take down, yet he rarely hunts for submissions himself. His one submission win came in round 1 against Trocoli, and the submission he suffered came against Stoltzfus.

The finishing pattern is consistent. All three of his UFC wins ended inside the distance, two of them in round 1 and one in round 2. It's a small sample, but he wins early when he wins.
