Struggles continue in Manchester
Brzeski lost to Michael Parkin via KO (punches) at 3:23 of Round 1 at UFC 304 on Saturday in Manchester, England.
ANALYSIS
Brzeski really struggles at defending takedowns. He wasn't put to the test in that area against Parkin, but still came up short. Brzeski was doing fairly well in the back-and-forth striking exchanges between the two, but then he got clipped with a massive right hand and some follow-up shots that closed the show in an instant. Brzeski is now 1-4 in his first five UFC bouts and seems quite likely to be handed his walking papers in the near future.

Scheduled against Parkin
Brzeski is scheduled to compete against heavyweight Michael Parkin at UFC 304 in Manchester on July 27, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Brzeski will try to bounce back after Valter Walker snapped the former's previous three-fight winning streak. Parkin has one at the moment in the UFC and is undefeated across nine pro bouts.

Snaps three-fight losing streak
Brzeski defeated Valter Walker via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Entering on a three-fight losing streak, Brzeski was a near-lock to be handed his walking papers if he came up short here. Instead, he handed Walker his first professional defeat as a +200 underdog. Brzeski by no means looked great and he allowed his opponent to land 4-of-5 takedown attempts, but his output on the feet ended up being the difference. Lukas attempted nearly 100 more total strikes (200-101) than Walker, closing with a 135-56 edge in total strikes landed. There's an extremely likelihood this goes down as Brzeski's best performance in the UFC.

Booked for UFC Vegas 89
Brzeski will fight Valter Walker at UFC Vegas 89 on April 6, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Brzeski's UFC career certainly hasn't started out the way he had hoped, as he sits at 0-3 to begin his career. If he loses again in April to Walker, who will be making his UFC debut, Brzeski's time in the UFC may be approaching its end.

Drops third in a row
Brzeski lost to Waldo Cortes-Acosta via KO (punches) at 3:01 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Singapore.
ANALYSIS
You can't help but feel for Brzeski. He dropped a split decision to Martin Buday in his company debut last August and then had to face an excellent wrestler in Karl Williams this past March. He got a completely different type of opponent here in Cortes-Acosta, although the end result was the same. Brzeski crumbled under the pressure of Waldo midway through Round 1, eventually forcing referee Marc Craig to step in. Perhaps Brzeski's UFC run may have been different had he got the decision over Buday, but he didn't, and now his time with the company is likely limited.
