Nick Aguirre

Nick "Slick" Aguirre is a 7-2-0 southpaw bantamweight competing at 135 pounds with a 5'9" frame and 74-inch reach. Despite his nickname suggesting technical prowess, Aguirre's recent form has deteriorated significantly, dropping his last two fights and posting a 0-2 record in his most recent outings.

His career striking output remains modest at 0.73 strikes landed per minute with 33% accuracy, while he absorbs 2.89 strikes per minute and defends only 45% of incoming strikes—indicating he takes considerable volume. Takedown-wise, Aguirre averages 1.16 attempts per 15 minutes but converts at just 20% accuracy and defends takedowns at 33%, suggesting grappling is not a strength.

He maintains a submission average of 0.6 per 15 minutes, showing some submission threat despite limited success. Recent losses to Payton Talbott (submission, Round 3, November 2023) and Dan Argueta (unanimous decision, January 2023) underscore a troubling downward trajectory.

Aguirre will need to demonstrate significant improvement in striking accuracy and defensive fundamentals to remain competitive in the bantamweight division.
