Still searching for first UFC win

Aguirre lost to Payton Talbott via submission (rear-naked choke) at 0:58 of Round 3 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Entering as a +500 underdog, largest on the entire card, Aguirre unquestionably won Round 1 and lasted until Round 3, both of which prior to the fight would have been viewed as massive victories. Aguirre's early success was the result of an immediate takedown and some ground control time. He was thoroughly overwhelmed whenever the two men were on the feet, and by the end, was overwhelmed on the mat. A native of Illinois, Aguirre won seven straight fights on the regional scene to begin his pro career, but has now come up short in each of his first two UFC bouts. It's not a guarantee he'll receive a third opportunity.

Will fight Talbott
FeatherweightUFC
August 22, 2023
Aguirre will fight Payton Talbott at UFC Vegas 82 on Nov. 18, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nlreports.
ANALYSIS
Aguirre will get his second chance to fight in the UFC after flopping in his opening bout against Dan Argueta. Aguirre didn't look like he belonged in that one, getting owned by Argueta on the mat without finding success elsewhere. His opponent, Talbott, will be making his UFC debut after being awarded a contract during Dana White's Contender Series in August.
Not competitive in UFC debut
FeatherweightUFC
January 14, 2023
Aguirre lost to Dan Argueta via unanimous decision (27-30, 27-30, 27-30) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
The only positive thing that can be said about Aguirre's UFC debut is that he managed to see the final bell. Other than that, he wasn't the least bit competitive. In a fight which lasted 15 minutes, Aguirre was credited with 15 total strikes landed. He spent virtually the entire bout being controlled by Argueta on the mat, limiting any chance Aguirre may have had of pulling the upset. Aguirre seems likely to receive a second opportunity with the company, but little should be expected considering his performance in this one.
UFC debut scheduled
FeatherweightUFC
January 10, 2023
Aguirre will fight Dan Argueta at UFC Vegas 67 on Jan. 14, according to Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Aguirre is scheduled to face a relative newcomer who is 8-1 in nine fights, with the one loss he logged as a last-minute replacement. Meanwhile, Aguirre is perfect across his first seven fights, and he will look to improve his win streak to eight during his UFC debut.
