Gets right back in win column
Bonfim defeated Ange Loosa via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Denver.
ANALYSIS
Fresh off a knockout loss to Nicolas Dalby as a -600 favorite in November, Bonfim, aided by a tiring Loosa, was able to turn things around. Gabriel gave up three takedowns in the opening frame, but to his credit, worked his way back to his feet quickly. An exhausted Loosa was unable to get Bonfim to the mat the rest of the fight, and that allowed Gabriel to unload power shots, the vast majority of which found their mark. Bonfim is far from a perfect fighter, but he won't turn 27 years of age until late-August, and he's 3-1 in the UFC in addition to a victory on Dana White's Contender Series. He's in pretty good shape at the moment.

Scheduled to fight Ange Loosa
Bonfim will fight Ange Loosa at UFC Denver on Jul. 13, via Dana White.
ANALYSIS
Bonfim will aim to bounce back after his first UFC loss to Nicolas Dalby via TKO back in November of 2023. The Brazilian welterweight (2-1) will fight the 31-year-old Loosa, both looking for their first victory in the 2024 year.

Finished as monumental favorite
Bonfim lost to Nicolas Dalby via TKO (strikes) at 4:33 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
ANALYSIS
Awful. Swelling to upwards of a -600 favorite, Bonfim got off to an incredible start before it all fell apart. He used his wrestling to ground Dalby and score plenty of control time early on. Yet unlike his other opponents to date, Dalby didn't fold. He kept coming. We finally got our answer as to how Bonfim would fare when dragged into deep waters by his opposition and the answer was not good. Neither of Bonfim's first two UFC bouts lasted longer than 73 seconds. Once Dalby pushed back, Gabriel crumbled. This loss is obviously a disaster for Bonfim, but he turned just 26 years of age this past August and it's imperative he learn from this setback.

Will face Nicolas Dalby
Bonfim will take on Nicolas Dalby in a welterweight bout at UFC Sao Paulo on Nov. 4, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport reports.
ANALYSIS
Bonfim will return to the octagon after winning their first two fights, against Mounir Lazzez and Trevin Giles, via submission, and he's coming up the ranks as a hot prospect who recently turned 26 years old. He's 15-0 as a professional and 12 of his wins have come via submission, but facing Dalby represents a tougher challenge compared to his previous opponents.
