Alexander Poppeck

Alexander "Ironside" Poppeck holds a professional record of 21-6-0 (1 NC) and competes as an orthodox-stance heavyweight at 6'2" with a 75-inch reach. Poppeck operates as a volume striker with modest output, landing 4.01 strikes per minute at 57% accuracy while absorbing 9.81 strikes per minute—a defensive liability reflected in his 33% strike defense.

He has never attempted a takedown in his UFC tenure (0.00 TD avg per 15 minutes) and poses no submission threat (0.0 sub avg), instead relying on his knockout power (11.6 KO score) to finish opponents. However, his recent campaign has been troubling: he suffered a second-round TKO loss to Jamahal Hill on July 23, 2019, and more recently dropped a devastating first-round knockout to Jovan Leka on August 1, 2026, lasting just 1:22.

These consecutive finishes suggest Poppeck's defensive vulnerabilities are being exploited at the highest level, and his cardio score of 8.0 indicates stamina may not compensate for technical shortcomings. With two straight knockout losses, Poppeck faces an uphill battle to remain competitive in the heavyweight division.
