Yousri Belgaroui

Overview

Three UFC fights, three knockouts, and two of them came in the third round, after the opponent had two rounds to solve him.

Yousri Belgaroui is a Middleweight out of Amsterdam, training with Teixeira MMA & Fitness in Bethel, Connecticut. He is 3-0 in the UFC and 11-3-0 across all promotions, and he has finished every one of his UFC fights.

UFC Career

The road in ran through Dana White's Contender Series. Belgaroui lost a unanimous decision to Marco Tulio there in August 2023, then returned in September 2024 and beat Taiga Iwasaki by TKO at 2:34 of round 3.

His UFC debut came in October 2025 against Azamat Bekoev. He won by TKO at 0:55 of the third. Next was Mansur Abdul-Malik in March 2026, an opponent our model rates as strong. Belgaroui stopped him at 3:39 of round 3. Then came Djorden Santos in September 2026, and this time he did not wait. The TKO arrived at 4:25 of round 1.

Three wins, three stoppages, no decisions. He carries a three-fight win streak into his next fight.

Fighting Style

Yousri Belgaroui is a busy, accurate striker who is hard to hit. He lands plenty and wastes little, and he takes less in return than most fighters on the roster.

He rarely goes looking for the ground. He seldom shoots for takedowns and doesn't hunt submissions, and he has no submission wins in the UFC. He is also tough to take down, so he tends to keep fights standing.

His finishing pattern fits that profile. All three of his UFC wins have come by knockout or TKO: two in round 3 and one in round 1. It's a small sample, but it points to a fighter whose damage accumulates over a fight more than it arrives in a single moment.
