Alessio Sakara
Career overview
Alessio Sakara, fighting out of an orthodox stance, holds a professional record of 19-11-0 with two no-contests. The middleweight striker averaged 3.96 strikes landed per minute over his career with 47% striking accuracy, while maintaining a solid 59% striking defense against 2.80 absorbed strikes per minute.
Sakara demonstrated notable grappling capability with 2.18 takedowns per 15 minutes at 78% accuracy and 62% takedown defense, though he posed minimal submission threat with 0.0 submissions averaged per 15 minutes. His recent fight history reflects inconsistency at the highest level: he scored a first-round knockout over Joe Vedepo in September 2008 and another early finish against James Irvin in March 2010, but suffered losses to Houston Alexander (KO, round one, 2:01), Drew McFedries (KO, round one, 4:07), Dean Lister (submission, round one, 1:20), and Nicholas Musoke (submission, round one, 3:07).
A disqualification loss to Patrick Cote in November 2012 further complicated his career trajectory. Sakara's record indicates a fighter capable of explosive early offense but vulnerable to skilled opponents and prone to early stoppages when unable to establish control.
