Drops decision at UFC 308
BantamweightUFC
October 26, 2024
Hugo lost to Farid Basharat via unanimous decision (27-30, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC 308 on Saturday in Abu Dhabi.
ANALYSIS
Hugo looked strong in a unanimous decision win over Pedro Falcao in his UFC debut in April. Unfortunately, he blew all of that good will and then some here after a weight cutting disaster. Originally scheduled to face Basharat at bantamweight, Hugo was so heavy on Friday the fight had to be switched to featherweight. He got his wish and still ended up dropping a decision on the scorecards. The lone bit of good news is that Hugo wasn't totally overwhelmed inside the Octagon, hanging tough despite being the second-largest underdog on the card at +525. He'll get another shot with the company, but the Brazilian needs to get his weight-cutting issues under control.

Set to take on Basharat
BantamweightUFC
September 2, 2024
Victor Hugo will face Farid Basharat in a bantamweight fight at UFC 308 on Oct. 26, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Victor Hugo defeated Pedro Falcao via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 30-27) at UFC Fight Night in Las Vegas in April in his UFC debut, but he'll face a tougher opponent this time around. Basharat has yet to lose a fight as a pro, and his 12-0-0 record includes six wins via submission and another one via knockout. There's no question he represents a steeper challenge compared to his UFC debut earlier this year.
Secures victory in UFC debut
BantamweightUFC
April 6, 2024
Hugo defeated Pedro Falcao via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 30-27) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It took Hugo about a round to find his range, but once he did, he had zero problems with his late-notice replacement in Falcao. Aided by his opponent tiring just a bit, Victor posted a 53-37 edge in terms of total strikes landed over the course of the final ten minutes. The opening frame could have gone either way, but Hugo's strong showing in the latter stages of the fight ensured he would walk away with the victory. This was Hugo's first UFC bout, but he now has a 14 fight winning streak overall.

Hugo will not fight Heili Alateng at UFC Vegas 90 on Saturday, according to Nolan King of MMAJunkie.com.
ANALYSIS
The UFC is seeking a replacement opponent for Hugo, indicating Alateng had to withdraw. There is a chance the fight gets scrapped altogether, considering Hugo's potential opponent would have to compete in under a week's notice.
Alateng fight scheduled

January 24, 2024
Hugo is scheduled to compete against Heili Alateng in a bantamweight fight at UFC Vegas 90 on April 6, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Hugo will have a second chance to log his UFC debut. He was scheduled to compete against Daniel Marcos at UFC Sao Paulo back in November but missed weight. Ideally for the promotion, that is not a problem in Hugo's second try at bantamweight.
