HeavyweightUFC
December 10, 2024
Parkin will face Marcin Tybura in a heavyweight bout at UFC London on March 22, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Parkin boasts a perfect 4-0 record in his young UFC career. He most recently took care of Lukasz Brzeski in the first round with punches back in July, and he'll look to push his winning streak to five against a more experienced fighter in Tybura who is also coming off a win.

Picks up first UFC KO win
HeavyweightUFC
July 27, 2024
Parkin defeated Lukasz Brzeski via KO (punches) at 3:23 of Round 1 at UFC 304 on Saturday in Manchester, England.
ANALYSIS
Parkin was a big power puncher during his time on the regional scene, but it hadn't carried over to his UFC run. Instead, he was relying on volume and movement. Here against Brezeski, he unloaded one huge right hand and some follow-up strikes that folded up his opponent on the spot. Parkin struggles defensively at times in the stand-up, but he's a good athlete for a heavyweight and trains at a top gym with Tom Aspinall and crew. He's now 4-0 in the UFC. A bump in competition is coming his next time out. In the meantime, he'll walk away with a $100,000 Performance of the Night bonus for his finish here.
Brzeski up next

May 22, 2024
Parkin is scheduled to compete against heavyweight Lukasz Brzeski at UFC 304 in Manchester on July 27, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Parkin began his 2024 by narrowly defeating Mohammed Usman at UFC Vegas 89. He will try maintaining his winning streak while Brzeski attempts to build a new one after Valter Walker defeated him.
Undefeated record remains
HeavyweightUFC
March 23, 2024
Parkin defeated Mohammed Usman via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
This was a very close fight, with neither man feeling all that comfortable when the final bell rang. Parkin had his struggles early on, but he invested in damaging his opponent with low kicks throughout the course of the bout, and it paid dividends late. The 28-year-old Brit racked up a ton of stoppage wins early in his pro career, but that hasn't carried over since arriving in the UFC. It's impossible to argue with his 3-0 record to date, but Parkin hasn't exactly been facing top-flight competition, either.
Steps in for Barnett

Parkin will fight Mohammed Usman at UFC Vegas 89 on March 23, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Parkin took down Caio Machado in November to improve to 8-0 as a pro, and he'll now be tested versus Usman, who sits at 3-0 in the UFC.
Remains undefeated as pro
HeavyweightUFC
November 18, 2023
Parkin defeated Caio Machado via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Parkin looked great in his UFC debut, a unanimous decision win over Jamal Pogues in July. He was considerably less effective here and was fortunate two of the judges, let alone all three, though he won. Parkin struggled in prolonged striking exchanges between the two men, and his cardio was questionable, at best, but he did land three takedowns for 6:17 worth of control time in the first two rounds alone, helping push him across the finish line. Parkin is 28 years of age and has just eight pro fights under his belt, so he needs to try to get back in the Octagon as soon as possible to gain further experience.
