Hyder Amil
The Hurricane
USA
Suffers first pro defeat
Amil lost to Jose Miguel Delgado via KO (knee) at 0:26 of Round 1 at UFC 317 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Amil entered with an undefeated professional record, having displayed great durability in the past. Yet all it took was one knee to the face from Delgado about 20 seconds in to put him down for the first time. Hyder lacks technical skill, but he's super aggressive. That's typically served him well in the past, but when you fight that recklessly every time out, this is a potential outcome. The 35-year-old California native should be back in short order.

Picks up split-decision upset
Amil defeated William Gomis via split decision (29-28, 29-28, 28-29) at UFC Vegas 103 on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
The first two rounds saw a mere difference of four combined significant strikes between the two men, hence the split-decision result. Round 1 seemed to go in the direction of Gomis, and Round 3 is when Amil started to pull away, so the second round was what was seemingly up for grabs. It went Amil's way on a night in which he racked up 115 significant strikes, a takedown and 2:43 worth of control time. He improves to a perfect 3-0 in the UFC and 11-0 as a professional after this upset win.

Next fight scheduled
Amil is scheduled to compete against Nathaniel Wood in a featherweight fight at UFC Edmonton on Nov. 2, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Amil has his opportunity to go 3-0 during 2024. He finished Fernie Garcia and Jeong Yeong Lee earlier this year for two of his 10 wins across that many fights in his professional career. But coming off a 4-1 record since 2022, Wood is no slouch for an opponent.

Scores huge knockout win
Amil defeated Jeong Yeong Lee via TKO (punches) at 1:05 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It was as crazy of a fight as you will ever see for the 65 seconds it lasted. Amil ate one huge punch moments after the opening bell rang which appeared to have woke him up. After that, he floored the gas pedal and connected with dozens of blows that Lee somehow managed to eat. Yet, with the pressure mounting along the fence, referee Mark Smith finally pulled the plug. Amil is clearly most comfortable in a brawl, and it remains to be seen how he will fare in a more technical fight against a bit better competition. We should get our answer soon enough. In the meantime, he'll walk away with one of four $50,000 Performance of the Night bonuses awarded on the evening.
