Kaan Ofli vs Yizha — Fight recap

Kaan Ofli secured a majority decision victory over Yizha on January 31, 2026, in a three-round contest that saw contrasting approaches from both fighters. Despite landing fewer significant strikes—48 of 107 (44%)—compared to Yizha's 68 of 124 (54%)—Ofli controlled the pace with 2:57 of octagon control time.

Yizha's wrestling proved effective, converting all three takedown attempts and landing a knockdown, but the grappling-heavy approach left him vulnerable to Ofli's counter-striking, particularly in the body where Ofli connected on 19 of 22 strikes. Ofli's precision striking and control time ultimately swayed the judges' scorecards despite being out-landed in significant strikes.

The decision suggests Ofli's ability to dictate range and accumulate control compensated for volume deficiencies, while Yizha's reliance on takedowns without submission follow-up left points on the table.
