Profile
Overview
Every UFC fight Ottman Azaitar has had ended by knockout, and all five of them ended inside two rounds. "Bulldozer" is a lightweight from Rabat, Morocco, with a 2-3 UFC record and a 13-3-0 professional record across all promotions.
His two UFC wins both came by first-round TKO. His three losses all came by knockout too.
That's the whole profile. Fights with Azaitar don't go to the scorecards.
UFC Career
Azaitar debuted at UFC 242 on September 6, 2019, and needed 3:33 of the first round to stop Teemu Packalen. A year later he went back to work against Khama Worthy and finished him in 1:33 of round one. Our model rates Worthy as a strong opponent, so that one carries weight.
Two fights, two first-round finishes. Then a gap of more than two years.
He returned at UFC 281 in November 2022 and was stopped by Matt Frevola at 2:30 of the first round. In July 2023, Francisco Prado beat him the same way, at 4:05 of round one. The most recent fight in the data was December 2024, when Michael Johnson stopped him at 2:03 of round two. That is the only time Azaitar has seen a second round in the UFC, and it ended the same way as the others.
He carries a three-fight losing streak into his next fight, and all three defeats came by knockout.
Fighting Style
The numbers back up the fight list. Azaitar lands more strikes per minute than the average UFC fighter. His absorbed strikes, accuracy and defense all sit around the UFC average, so the volume is there without a clear edge in efficiency.
Wrestling barely enters his fights. He rarely shoots for takedowns and doesn't hunt submissions, but he is far harder to take down than most. That fits a switch-stance fighter whose UFC results have been decided on the feet.
Both of his wins ended in round one, and none of his fights have reached a decision.
