Shines in securing first UFC win
FlyweightUFC
June 14, 2025
Ochoa defeated Cody Durden via KO (punches) at 0:11 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Ochoa dropped his UFC debut to a legitimate prospect in Lone'er Kavanagh in November but looked pretty good in the process. He found himself a -220 favorite over Durden and put forth an excellent effort in enemy territory. He did give up a pair of Round 1 takedowns, but dominated the striking exchanges between the two. He got right back on the offense to start the second frame, crushing Durden with an uppercut before putting him away just 11 seconds into Round 2. Still just 24 years of age, Ochoa is a quality young addition to the flyweight division.

Taking on Durden in June
FlyweightUFC
April 6, 2025
Ochoa will fight Cody Durden at UFC Atlanta on June 14, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Ochoa will head into the fight looking for a bounce back following a decision loss to Lone'er Kavanagh in his UFC debut. The 24-year-old Peruvian fighter will look to use his youth and explosiveness to take down the more experienced American. Ochoa will likely be looking to use his stopping power to take out Durden, though Durden's 6-1 professional record in KO/TKO finishes is certainly nothing to scoff at.
Hangs tough in debut loss
FlyweightUFC
November 23, 2024
Ochoa lost to Lone'er Kavanagh via unanimous decision (27-30, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Macau, China.
ANALYSIS
Facing a highly-regarded prospect and entering as a +275 underdog, Ochoa more than held his own in a fight which couldn't have been more even judging by the numbers. Kavanagh closed with a 51-50 edge in significant strikes landed and neither man landed a takedown. It felt like the correct decision simply because it felt like Kavanagh landed some of the bigger shots, but Ochoa showed plenty in his company debut. We'll see him in the octagon once again.
To debut in Macau
FlyweightUFC
September 26, 2024
Ochoa will make his UFC debut against Lone'er Kavanagh in a flyweight matchup at UFC Macau on November 23, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Ochoa carries an undefeated 7-0 record into his UFC debut, and he hasn't let a single one of those fights go to the judges, as he last picked up a win via Anaconda Choke under the banner of LFA. He now draws Kavanagh, an undefeated prospect who made his way to the UFC via a first-round stoppage on Contender Series in August.
