May 18, 2024
Alateng defeated Kleydson Rodrigues via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It was a shockingly easy win for Alateng as a +140 underdog. He didn't do anything special other than getting physical with Rodrigues and turning it into a grappling battle. Alateng, not a noted wrestler, landed 3-of-4 takedown attempts, good for 8:16 worth of control time. That, combined with the fact Rodrigues landed no notable offense of his own, made the decision a foregone conclusion. Alateng quietly improves to 3-1 in his past four bouts.

ANALYSIS
Alateng will look to get back on track in 2024. After a long layoff during 2023, which also saw him have a fight canceled and be a short-notice replacement, he finished the year with a decision loss to Chris Gutierrez. Hugo has yet to debut in the UFC after missing weight in his first attempt, but he enters the aforementioned fight with a 24-4 MMA record.
Drops decision in Vegas
BantamweightUFC
October 14, 2023
Alateng lost to Chris Gutierrez via unanimous decision (27-30, 27-30, 27-30) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
This was a tough spot for Alateng, as he accepted this bout just a couple weeks ago and went up against a quality opponent. He managed to get his grappling game going to some extent in the closing minutes of the fight, but he absorbed far too many leg kicks early on which left him hobbled the rest of the way. The early damage from Gutierrez meant Alateng had no chance of winning a decision. While the result is disappointing, Heili entered with a 4-1-1 record in his first half-dozen UFC bouts, so his roster spot is plenty secure.

ANALYSIS
