Still searching for first UFC win
FeatherweightUFC
June 15, 2024
Cuamba lost to Lucas Almeida via unanimous decision (28-29, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
The highlight of Cuamba's evening was that he saw the final bell. That typically isn't that big of a deal, especially when you enter as a -190 favorite, but Cuamba was dropped by Almeida on no less than three occasions and somehow managed to survive. From an offensive standpoint, Cuamba's lone impressive moments came in the dying minutes when the bout was long out of hand. Still just 25 years of age, Cuamba picked up a win on Dana White's Contender Series last August, but has lost each of his first two UFC fights via decision. He may have to go back to the regional circuit to regain his confidence before taking another crack at the highest level.

Will face Almeida
FeatherweightUFC
May 1, 2024
Cuamba will take on Lucas Almeida in a lightweight bout at UFC Vegas 93 on June 15, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Cuamba hasn't lost much in recent years, but in his first ever UFC fight, he fell at the hands of Bolaji Oki via split decision. He'll try to even his record in the UFC, as will his opponent Almeida, who currently sits at 1-2 in the promotion. Cuamba is two inches shorter than his opponent but boasts the same wingspan, and this should be an intriguing fight between two lesser-known fighters trying to make a name for themselves.
Drops split decision in debut

Cuamba lost to Bolaji Oki via split decision (28-29, 29-28, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Cuamba accepted this fight, his UFC debut, just four days ago. All things considered, he looked fine. The end result wasn't as close as the "split decision" term would lead you to believe, however. The only round which Cuamba appeared to realistically win was the second. He struggled in the first and wasn't much better in Round 3. Cuamba was fortunate even one judge thought he deserved to win. The 25-year-old Las Vegas native is going to get another shot with the company due to his willingness to step up here on short notice.
Scheduled for debut

Cuamba will fight Bolaji Oki at UFC Vegas 86 on Saturday, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Cuamba will have just four days to prepare for his UFC debut, which will come eight days after his most recent fight. The 24-year-old boasts an 8-1 professional record, but fatigue may come into play Saturday when he faces Oki.
