Suffers unanimous decision loss in Hamburg
BantamweightUFC
July 22, 2018
Stasiak lost to Pingyuan Liu via unanimous decision (27-30, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night 134 on Sunday in Hamburg, Germany.
ANALYSIS
Stasiak appeared to largely control the fight with his wrestling in Round 1 and went back to the well in the final frame but it apparently wasn't enough, causing him to fall to 10-6 in his MMA career. It's clear that the Polish fighter has worked hard on his single leg takedowns and is a competent grappler but he might do well to get back to a blitzing karate attack, as he has now lost three fights in a row inside the Octagon.

Facing long medical suspension after UFC Gdansk
BantamweightUFC
October 26, 2017
Stasiak was given a 180-day medical suspension by the UFC following his UFC Fight Night loss to Brian Kelleher on Saturday, MMAFighting.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Stasiak is more of a ground threat than anything else, but he held his ground while trading shots with Kelleher during Round 1. However, as the bout progressed, Kelleher began to lay on the punches that overwhelmed Stasiak. The Polish fighter took a beating before a stop was called, but he never quit fighting. As a result of the loss, his record fell to 10-5 overall. The UFC also gave Stasiak a 180-day medical suspension due to a possible right knee injury sustained during the fight. Other competitors with similar time constraints pending medical clearance include Donald Cerrone, Jan Blachowicz, Devin Clark and Sam Alvey.
Gets finished by Brian Kelleher in Poland
BantamweightUFC
October 21, 2017
Stasiak lost to Brian Kelleher via TKO (punches) at 3:39 of Round 3 at UFC Fight Night 118 on Saturday in Poland.
ANALYSIS
Stasiak was holding his own in the striking battle for the first five minutes, but Kelleher began to take control thereafter, pummeling the Polish fighter with hard shots, including the right hand that led to the finish. To Stasiak's credit, he was still attempting to fight when the match was called, but he could never find a way to hurt his opponent in this fight. Stasiak is a threat on the ground but isn't a great wrestler, and has a striking arsenal that consists of low-impact spinning attacks, which will likely make it tough for him to advance at the highest level. His professional MMA record falls to 10-5 as a result of the loss.
Can't pull the upset over Pedro Munhoz at UFC Fight Night 109
BantamweightUFC
May 28, 2017
Stasiak lost to Pedro Munhoz via unanimous decision (30-27, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night 109 in Stockholm on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Stasiak came into this fight as a huge underdog, but he performed much better than that. He was able to walk through a lot of shots from Munhoz and land his own strikes. Unfortunately for him, Munhoz was still able to win all of the striking exchanges. Prior to this fight Stasiak has built some momentum with back-to-back wins over Filip Pejic and Davey Grant. However, he will need to go back to the drawing board after losing here.
Submits Davey Grant in hostile territory at UFC 204
BantamweightUFC
October 8, 2016
Stasiak defeated Davey Grant via submission (armbar) at 3:56 of Round 3 at UFC 204 on Saturday in Manchester, England.
ANALYSIS
It was quite a win for Stasiak in hostile territory. Neither man was able to pull away from the other over the course of the fight, but Stasiak slapped on a beautiful armbar late in Round 3 that Grant was eventually forced to tap out to. Stasiak fought two nobodies (Yaotzin Meza, Filip Pejic) in his first two UFC fights, but Grant was a respectable opponent. The upside of the 26-year-old Stasiak remains virtually non-existent, but he certainly had a pretty finish on Saturday.
