Ozzy Diaz

Overview

Ozzy Diaz's only UFC win went the distance, and all three of his UFC losses ended inside two rounds. The Los Angeles native fights at middleweight out of The Q and stands 6'4" with a 79" reach. His UFC record is 1-3. His professional record across all promotions is 10-5-0.

He has lost his last two, both by KO/TKO. That is the streak he carries into his next fight.

UFC Career

Diaz's first appearance on a Dana White's Contender Series card came in July 2022, a second-round KO/TKO loss to Joe Pyfer at 1:39. That fight isn't part of his UFC record.

His UFC debut came in November 2024 at UFC Fight Night: Yan vs Figueiredo. Zhang Mingyang stopped him in the first round at 2:25.

His one UFC win came at UFC 313 in March 2025: a unanimous decision over Djorden Santos, the only fight of his UFC run that reached the final bell.

The next two fights went the other way. Ateba Gautier, an opponent our model rates as strong, finished him in round two at 1:10 at UFC 328. At UFC 331, Ryan Gandra stopped him in round one at 2:04.

One win, three stoppage losses. No stoppage wins.

Fighting Style

The career numbers describe a striker, and the tradeoff is clear. Diaz lands far more strikes per minute than the average UFC fighter, with better-than-average accuracy and defense. He also absorbs far more per minute than the average, so he is trading, not controlling range.

He barely uses the grappling side. He attempts far fewer takedowns and submissions than most UFC fighters, and his takedown defense sits around the UFC average.

The finish pattern fits. Every UFC loss has been a KO/TKO, and the one win was a decision.
