Michal Oleksiejczuk

Michal Oleksiejczuk is a Polish light heavyweight southpaw with a professional record of 22-9-0 (1 NC), though recent form has been challenging at 3-5 over his last eight UFC outings. The 29-year-old operates as a volume striker, averaging 5.85 strikes landed per minute with 53% accuracy while maintaining 59% striking defense, though his grappling remains a liability with just 1.02 takedown attempts per 15 minutes at 42% accuracy and 52% takedown defense.

Oleksiejczuk carries legitimate finishing power with a KO score of 20.3, evidenced by first-round knockout victories over Gian Villante (February 2019) and Shamil Gamzatov (October 2021), though he has been caught in submission losses to top competition including Jimmy Crute (February 2020), Ovince Saint Preux (September 2019), Michel Pereira (March 2024), and Kevin Holland (June 2024)—a troubling pattern suggesting vulnerability on the ground. His split-decision win over Modestas Bukauskas (March 2021) remains his most recent decision victory.

With submission defense averaging 0.0 per 15 minutes, Oleksiejczuk must tighten his grappling fundamentals to remain competitive in the light heavyweight division.
