Scheduled against hometown newcomer
Bondar (undisclosed) is scheduled to compete Luis Rodriguez in a flyweight fight at UFC Mexico on Feb. 24, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Bondar will fight someone the UFC signed approximately 24 hours ago. On top of that, Rodriguez will be fighting in his hometown of Mexico City. With another loss on Feb. 24, Bondar risks being released by going 0-3 in the UFC. A win would likely save him though.

Withdraws from bout
Bondar (undisclosed) will no longer fight Felipe Bunes at UFC Vegas 84, Nolan King of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Bondar has withdrawn from his scheduled bout with Felipe Bunes due to undisclosed reasons with Joshua Van set to replace him in the matchup. The 31-year-old Ukrainian fighter is 0-2 during his time in the UFC.

Fighting at UFC Vegas 83
Bondar will fight Felipe Bunes at UFC Vegas 83 on Jan. 13, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
After dropping his first two fights since joining the UFC in February 2022, Bondar will match up with an opponent who will be making his debut. Bondar will certainly be desperate for a victory, as dropping to 0-3 could spell trouble for his future in the UFC.

Still seeking first UFC victory
Bondar lost to Carlos Hernandez via technical unanimous decision (27-30, 27-30, 28-29) at UFC on ESPN 47 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Bondar was actually knocked out with just seconds to go before referee Jerin Valel determined an accidental head clash led to the stoppage. They then went to the scorecards, at which point he dropped a lopsided decision. In a fight contested primarily on the feet, Bondar seemed to get off second in all the striking exchanges between the two men. A submission specialist by trade, Bondar is going to find himself in trouble in prolonged stand-up battles, and this was a perfect example of that. The soon-to-be 31-year-old Ukrainian joined the UFC in February 2022 on the heels of eight straight stoppage wins, but he's lost each of his first two bouts with the company.

Booked to return in June
Bondar (undisclosed) will return to face Carlos Hernandez at UFC Vegas 75 on June 17, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Bondar hasn't fought since Feb. 5, 2022 after he injured his arm in his UFC debut against Malcolm Gordon. Bondar has been labeled as a promising UFC prospect and will look to get on the right track following a long recovery back to the Octagon.
