Leans on wrestling in victory
Ogden defeated Loik Radzhabov via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 30-27) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Full marks to Ogden, as his fight IQ (and wrestling game) won him this bout. Trey leaned on his grappling frequently. He landed at least one takedown in each round and 4-of-5 overall. He racked up 9:47 worth of control time and dominated on the mat for long stretches. It should have been an easy victory, but Ogden got cracked on the feet on multiple occasions and found himself in legitimate trouble. Yet, knowing where he bread was buttered, Trey got right back to the wrestling and rode out the clock. Ogden improves to 3-1 (1NC) in his past five bouts.

Leans on wrestling in victory
Ogden defeated Kurt Holobaugh via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Credit Ogten for recognizing a weakness in Holobaugh's defense and exploiting it. Trey landed three takedowns, one in each frame. There was never a need for more than that considering every single time he got the far to the mat, Holobaugh never got back up. All told, Ogden finished with 11:09 worth of control time and landed 225 total strikes, although many of them were of the token variety from top position. Ogden's striking defense is poor and he has zero power, but he's a threat on the mat. The 34-year-old Missouri native should be back in the Octagon in short order.

Fighting Holobaugh
Ogden will fight Kurt Holobaugh at UFC Vegas 88 on March 23, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Ogden remains at 1-2 in the UFC following a no-contest with Nikolas Motta in November. Still in search of his first win since September 2022, Ogden will get another chance against Holobaugh, who was victorious in his return to the UFC but still holds a 1-4 record in the promotion.

Referee error removes victory
Ogden and Nikolas Motta fought to a no-contest (premature referee stoppage) at 3:11 of Round 3 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
To say this is a bad break for Ogden would be the understatement of the century. Fresh off an awful performance in a unanimous decision loss to Ignacio Bahamondes last April, Ogden dominated Motta from bell-to-bell and was well on his way to either earning a submission victory or unanimous decision win, at which point referee Mike Beltran made an incomprehensibly bad stoppage, which, upon review, turned a sure-fire Ogden win into a no-contest. It's an extremely slippery slope, but there has to be a way to re-start a fight if a referee error such as this one occurs.
