Profile
Overview
Victor Henry has been to the third round in five of his six UFC fights, and only one of those ended early. He is a 4-2 bantamweight in the UFC with one no contest, and nicknamed "La Mangosta".
His pro record across all promotions is 25-7-0 with one no contest, but the UFC numbers are the ones that matter here: three of his four wins went to the scorecards. He debuted in January 2022 and comes into his next fight on a one-fight win streak.
Close fights, then. Not many finishes.
UFC Career
Henry opened at UFC 270 with a unanimous decision over Raoni Barcelos, an opponent our model rates as strong. He followed that with a unanimous decision loss to Raphael Assuncao in October 2022.
In March 2023 he took a split decision over Tony Gravely. His next bout, against Javid Basharat at UFC 294, was ruled a no contest in round 2 at 0:15, so it counts as neither a win nor a loss.
His lone UFC finish came in April 2024, when he stopped Rani Yahya by KO/TKO in round 3 at 2:36. That was his best stretch of the run, but he lost the next time out, submitted by Charles Jourdain in round 2 at 3:43. It is the only time he has been finished in the UFC.
He bounced back in April 2025 with a unanimous decision over Pedro Falcao.
Six fights, and none ended in the first round.
Fighting Style
Henry is a busy, accurate striker. He throws a lot, lands at a good rate, and connects more cleanly than most. The tradeoff is that he gets hit often and doesn't defend strikes well.
On the mat, he plays defense. He is very hard to take down, but he rarely shoots for takedowns himself and doesn't hunt for submissions.
His UFC wins fit that picture. Three came by decision and one by TKO in the third round. His two losses came by decision and by submission.
