Durability issues remain
Schnell lost to Steve Erceg via KO (punch) at 0:26 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Erceg isn't exactly known for his power, but Schnell's greatest flaw is his lack of durability, and it reared it's ugly head once again here. Round 1 was fairly competitive, with Schnell taking a bit too much damage but landing a few notable blows of his own. Matt connected with a right hand early in Round 2, but the return left from Erceg turned his lights out in an instant. Schnell has lost five times since debuting in the UFC in December 2016, with four of the five coming via knockout. Sporting a 1-3 record in his last four fights dating back to May 2022, there's a non-zero chance the company could decide to move on from the 34-year-old Louisiana native.
