Struggles continue in Vegas

January 11, 2025
Alhassan lost to Cesar Almeida via KO (punch) at 4:16 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Perhaps it wouldn't have mattered, but it sure would have been nice to see Alhassan display a bit better fight IQ in a bout in a bout in which he had an obvious path to victory. Alhassan scored a knockdown of Almeida and had him in all sorts of trouble, but the latter worked his way back to his feet, and Alhassan then completely disregarded his defense. That allowed Almeida to land a counter left hand which knocked him out cold before he reached the mat. Alhassan has massive power, but he'll be 40 years of age in August, and as we saw here, his decision making isn't the best. He's now 1-3 (1NC) in his past five fights.

Alhassan is set to face off against Cesar Almeida at UFC Vegas 101 on Jan. 11, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Alhassan, who most recently faced off against Cody Brundage in a fight that ended in a no contest, will look to pick up a much-needed win over Cesar Almeida. The 39-year-old fighter is 6-6-1 during his time within the UFC and 1-2-1 in his last four contests.

Alhassan will not fight Josh Fremd at UFC Vegas 98 on Oct. 12, Aaron Bronsteter of Sportsnet reports.
ANALYSIS
This is not a problem on Alhassan's part. Fremd weighed in at 189 pounds, and the UFC opted to scrap his fight with Alhassan entirely. This has been a rough 2024 for him, as he may finish this year without a clear result.

Alhassan will fight Josh Fremd at a UFC event on Oct. 12, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
The Ghanan middleweight will get the chance for his first win of the year after fighting to a no contest against Cody Brundage earlier in July. Alhassan will take on Fremd who is on a two-match losing streak, but both fighters have shown inconsistent play in the octagon in their recent fights.
Fights to no contest in Denver
MiddleweightUFC
July 13, 2024
Alhassan and Cody Brundage fought to a no contest (illegal elbows) at 0:37 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Denver.
ANALYSIS
This one could have gone either way for Alhassan. On one hand, he dominated Brundage the entire bout, and referee Dan Miragliotta certainly could have stopped the fight. On the other, given the fact the blows were deemed illegal, he could have been disqualified. It's certainly disappointing that Brundage couldn't or wouldn't continue given how much momentum Alhassan had built up. Perhaps the company will set these two up for another date down the round.
