The sample is small, so treat everything below with care.
UFC Career
Loder debuted against Robert Valentin at UFC Fight Night: Cannonier vs Borralho and finished him by KO/TKO at 1:49 of round 2. His next two fights went the other way. Azamat Bekoev stopped him in round 1 at 2:44 on the Sandhagen vs Figueiredo card in 2025. Then Ismail Naurdiev did it faster, at 1:26 of round 1 at UFC Fight Night: Tsarukyan vs Hooker.
Both losses ended inside the first round.
Fighting Style
Loder lands a lot and lands it accurately, but he also absorbs a lot. Those numbers describe a fighter who trades, and given how his two losses ended, that cuts both ways. Defensively he is average at avoiding strikes. He is hard to take down and throws submission attempts at a rate well above the UFC average, though none of his UFC wins came by submission.
