Pavel Andrusca

Overview

Nine fights, nine wins, and a UFC debut that went the full three rounds against a strong opponent. Pavel Andrusca, a Moldovan featherweight, is 1-0 in the UFC and 9-0-0 across all promotions.

That debut was a unanimous decision over Nathaniel Wood. One UFC fight is a small sample, and it leaves a lot unanswered.

UFC Career

Andrusca debuted at UFC Fight Night: Hooker vs. Parnasse and beat Nathaniel Wood by unanimous decision, going the full three rounds to the final bell at 5:00 of round 3. Our model rates Wood as a strong opponent, so this wasn't a soft landing.

He carries a one-fight win streak into his next bout.

Fighting Style

Pavel Andrusca is a hard man to hit. He takes very little damage on the feet, and his defense is among his best traits. His own striking is ordinary, neither busy nor especially sharp.

What sets him apart is his grappling offense. He shoots for takedowns often and hunts for submissions more than most fighters. The flip side is that he gets taken down easily, a clear hole in his game.

His UFC record is 1-0, and that win went to the judges' scorecards. With a single fight on file, these tendencies are early reads rather than a settled profile.
