No-shows UFC 304 defeat
Parsons lost to Oban Elliott via unanimous decision (28-29, 27-30, 27-30) at UFC 304 on Saturday in Manchester, England.
ANALYSIS
It was a truly woeful performance from Parsons. It was widely believed he had a massive grappling advantage over Elliott, but Parsons managed to land just 1-of-9 takedown attempts, and the lone successful try came in the dying seconds when the fight was over. He got beat to every single position and landed no offense of note outside of some early leg kicks. Unable to get on track, Parsons has alternated losses and wins in his first five UFC bouts. Each of the last four have seen the final bell.

Set to fight at UFC 304
Parsons is scheduled to take on Oban Elliott at UFC 304 on Jul. 27, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Parsons will look to get his second consecutive win after besting Matthew Semelsberger by unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) back in January. The welterweight fighter nicknamed "Pressure" currently holds a 2-2 UFC record and will take on Parsons, who is entering his second UFC match off a win.

Leans on wrestling in victory
Parsons defeated Matthew Semelsberger via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
This was a strong effort from Parsons from bell-to-bell in a fight that went off as a pure pick 'em. Recognizing Semelsberger's struggles in defending the takedown, Preston fired off 11 takedown attempts, landing seven of them. Those seven successful tries turned into 6:26 worth of control time and essentially ensured Parsons would win a decision as long as he made it to the final bell. That said, it's going to be very difficult for Preston to put together an extended winning streak considering he doesn't have a single knockout victory in 15 career fights. He has alternated wins and losses in his first four UFC bouts.

New opponent scheduled
Parsons is scheduled to compete against Matthew Semelsberger in a welterweight fight at UFC Vegas 83, per James Lynch of Sportskeeda.
ANALYSIS
Parsons was supposed to fight Bassil Hafez, but he withdrew from UFC Vegas 83. Like Parsons, Semelsberger is trying to put a disappointing 2023 behind him and get back in the win column.

Fighting Hafez in January
Parsons will fight Bassil Hafez at UFC Vegas 83 on Jan. 13, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Coming off the heels of a split-decision loss, Parsons will look to get back in the win column against Hafez, who lost his UFC debut in July. Parsons currently hold a 1-2 record within the UFC and dropping to 1-3 could spell danger for his future in the promotion.
