Ode Osbourne

The Jamaican Sensation

USA

Drops war at UFC 306
FlyweightUFC
September 14, 2024
Osbourne lost to Ronaldo Rodriguez via unanimous decision (28-29, 27-29, 27-29) at UFC 306 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It's nearly impossible to believe Osbourne lost this fight. And that's not to say he deserved to win. Ode landed a knockdown in Round 1 and followed that up with about the deepest triangle choke you will ever see. Try as he may, he was unable to get Rodriguez out of there. That predictably left Osbourne compromised the rest of the way. He was nearly finished himself in Round 2, only to appear completely recovered for the final frame. It turns out the best he could have done was a split draw, because two of the three judges gave Rodriguez a 10-8 score in the second frame. It ended up not mattering. Ronaldo deserves a ton of credit, but you simply cannot lose this fight if you're Ode given the massive trouble he had his opponent in on multiple occasions. Osbourne may very well walk away with a post-fight bonus for his effort, but his roster spot is also in deep trouble considering this was his third straight defeat dating back to August 2023.

Osbourne will fight Luis Ronaldo Rodriguez at Noche UFC at The Sphere in Las Vegas on September 14, per Carlos Legaspi of ESPNDeportes.ESPN.com.

No-shows Vegas loss
FlyweightUFC
March 16, 2024
Osbourne lost to Jafel Filho via submission (rear-naked choke) at 4:27 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
An absolute no-show from Osbourne for a second straight fight. There's literally not a single positive thing you can say about his performance. Ode was overwhelmed on the mat the entire bout, attempting just six total strikes of his own and landing one of them. He was, quite frankly, lucky to last until the closing stages of Round 1. Osbourne is a reckless brawler who is capable of a fun, effective performance here and there, but the results of late have been disastrous. With back-to-back defeats on his resume and a loser of three of his past four fights, Ode is likely in need of a win his next time out to extend his time with the company.

Osbourne will face Jafel Filho in a flyweight bout at a UFC event on March 16, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Osbourne owns a 12-6-0 pro record throughout his career, though he has gone 4-4-0 in UFC. He's coming off a poor performance against Asu Almabaev, losing via submission (rear-naked choke) on Aug. 5. Plus, he has lost two of his last three fights.
Not competitive in Nashville opener
FlyweightUFC
August 5, 2023
Osbourne lost to Asu Almabaev via submission (rear-naked choke) at 3:11 of Round 2 at UFC on ESPN 50 on Saturday in Nashville.
ANALYSIS
It was thoroughly underwhelming performance from Osbourne from start to finish. He had zero answers for the grappling game of the debuting Almabaev, which is a major issue considering he's shown nothing on the mat for the duration of his UFC run. A member of the roster for about 3.5 years now, Osbourne is the very definition of roster depth, sporting an 4-4 record in his first eight fights with the company. There's very little upside here.

Osbourne will fight Asu Almabaev in a flyweight bout at a UFC event at a UFC event in Nashville on Aug. 5, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports Friday.
ANALYSIS
Osbourne was slated to face Denys Bondar in February, but the bout ended up getting canceled and Bondar was replaced with Charles Johnson. Osbourne got the better of Johnson, winning via split decision. He is now 4-2 in his last six UFC fights and will be looking to stack victories and build a winning streak.
