Fades following fast start

June 15, 2024
Nuerdanbieke lost to Melquizael Costa via submission (rear-naked choke) at 1:50 of Round 3 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
A big, strong featherweight, Nuerdanbieke always starts quickly, but his gas tank quickly empties, and he gets less effective as his fights progresses. This one was no exception. Nuerdanbieke pulled ahead on the scorecards on the strength of his grappling, but he was simply holding onto his opponent by the end of Round 2 and found himself in a compromising position on the mat early in Round 3. Nuerdanbieke was tapping out shortly thereafter. The 30-year-old has now dropped back-to-back fights on the heels of a three-fight winning streak.

Nuerdanbieke will fight Melquizael Costa in a featherweight match at UFC Vegas 93 on Jun. 15, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
The "Wolverine" has not fought since April of 2023, but he will get a fight after withdrawing in January from a scheduled match for UFC Vegas 86 against Hyder Amil. Nuerdanbieke will enter the octagon with a 22-8 record and take on Costa, who most recently suffered a knockout against Steve Garcia in December.
Withdraws from Amil fight

Nuerdanbieke has withdrawn from his scheduled fight against Hyder Amil, according to Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
It is unclear why Nuerdanbieke withdrew from the fight. Without him available, Amil will fight Melsik Baghdasaryan at UFC Vegas 86. Nuerdanbieke had never withdrawn from a UFC fight before now, so this is hopefully a one-off.

Nuerdanbieke will take on Hyder Amil in a featherweight fight at UFC Vegas 86 on Feb. 10, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Nuerdanbieke lost to Steve Garcia via KO in April, a defeat that snapped his winning run at three fights, but he will look to bounce back here. A fighter with tons of experience despite being 29 years old, the Chinese owns a 39-11-0 pro record throughout his career. However, his UFC mark stands at 3-2-0.
Win streak snapped at three
FeatherweightUFC
April 8, 2023
Nuerdanbieke lost to Steve Garcia via KO (strikes) at 0:36 of Round 2 at UFC 287 on Saturday in Miami.
ANALYSIS
Nuerdanbieke is comfortable in a brawl, and when you're willing to stand and trade with your opposition, this is what can happen. Nuerdanbieke was the much better fighter in Round 1, scoring a knockdown and a takedown, in addition to plenty of control time, but he ate a couple big shots from Garcia late in the frame before absorbing two huge punches and a liver kick early in Round 2 which closed the show. Nuerdanbieke is extremely strong and keeps himself in great shape, but with 50 professional fights under his belt, he has less runway ahead of him than your typical soon-to-be 29-year-old. The setback snaps a three-fight winning streak for Nuerdanbieke.

Nuerdanbieke will square off against Steve Garcia on April 8, Mike Heck of MMAFighting.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Nuerdanbieke dropped his UFC debut but has since gone on to win three straight matches. His most recent victory was a very quick one, as it took him just 67 seconds to beat Darrick Minner via TKO in November. Garcia's most fight ended similarly, as he took 92 seconds to score a TKO win over Chase Hooper in October.
