Profile
Overview
Torrez Finney's UFC record is 1-1, but the more interesting number is his professional record of 11-1-0 across all promotions. The Macon, Georgia native fights at middleweight and goes by "The Punisher." He has yet to finish anyone in the UFC, a sharp contrast with how he got there.
Three Dana White's Contender Series appearances preceded his UFC debut, and none went the distance on the scorecards by default: a submission, a decision, a knockout.
Small sample. Clear profile.
UFC Career
Finney made his UFC debut in April 2025 at UFC Fight Night: Emmett vs Murphy, beating Robert Valentin by split decision after three rounds. It was a close one rather than a statement.
Then came UFC 325 in January 2026 and a unanimous decision loss to Jacob Malkoun, also going the full three. He now carries a one-fight losing streak into his next outing.
Both UFC fights went the distance. After a Contender Series run that included a first-round knockout, that is the thing to watch.
Fighting Style
Finney is a grappler first. He shoots for takedowns often and is very hard to take down himself, and he hunts for submissions more than most fighters. His striking is selective. He doesn't throw much, but he lands a high share of what he does throw.
That low output comes with a trade-off. He is easier to hit than most when strikes do come his way, though he doesn't absorb many overall.
His UFC record stands at 1-1, with the win coming by decision. The Contender Series finish over Yuri Panferov came by submission in the second round, which fits his grappling profile. The first-round knockout of Abdellah Er-Ramy shows he can also end a fight on the feet.
