Lucas Alexander

Brazil

Finished following weight miss
LightweightUFC
February 1, 2025
Alexander lost to Bogdan Grad via TKO (punches) at 4:22 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
ANALYSIS
One would think that would be more than enough to result in Alexander being handed his walking papers. Not only was this his third defeat in four UFC bouts, but it was his second straight knockout loss following a weight miss. The Brazilian eventually found himself mounted by the debuting Grad. He absorbed a boatload of punishment before referee Kerry Hatley finally pulled the plug. Perhaps the company will show mercy and give Alexander another chance, but constant weight cutting issues make it unlikely.

Alexander will fight Bogdan Grad at UFC Saudi Arabia on Feb. 1, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.

Routed after weight miss
LightweightUFC
November 18, 2023
Alexander lost to Jeka Saragih via KO (punches) at 1:31 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
What a disaster. Alexander entered as a -550 favorite despite missing weight by a couple pounds Friday morning. He got back to his feet following a ground exchange between the two men and was obliterated by a Saragih right hand that sent him crashing to the mat, forcing referee Herb Dean to quickly step in. A weight miss followed by an immediate loss as a massive favorite is typically a set of circumstances UFC brass has little patience for. Now 1-2 in his first three bouts with the company, Alexander's roster spot isn't secure.
Comes in heavy
LightweightUFC
November 17, 2023
Alexander missed the lightweight limit for Saturday's bout against Jeka Saragih at UFC Vegas 82, MMAFighting.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Alexander is coming off the first win of his UFC career against Steven Peterson in March but came in two pounds over the lightweight limit for Saturday's bout. There's been no word of a cancelation, so he'll likely face a purse fine for the weight miss.

Alexander is in need of a new opponent for UFC Sao Paulo on Saturday after David Onama withdrew due to an undisclosed injury (disclosed via his personal Twitter account).
ANALYSIS
Per Jake Noecker of Cageside Press as of last week, Alexander is still hopefully that the UFC will find a replacement opponent, but that hasn't yet come to pass as of Tuesday afternoon.
