Another first-round knockout win
Oleksiejczuk defeated Cody Brundage via KO (punches) at 3:16 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Originally scheduled to face Albert Duraev (undisclosed), Oleksiejczuk had no issues with his late-notice opponent change. Michal had some issues with the grappling of Brundage in the brief bout, but he was eventually able to reverse position on Cody along the fence and unload with countless unanswered shots which eventually resulted in referee Mark Smith pulling the plug. It's fair to wonder how Oleksiejczuk will perform if his power shots aren't landing, but he has proven to have the ability to stop his opposition at a moments notice. The 27-year-old has won four of five dating back to March 2021, including three first-round knockout victories. He'll also take home a $50,0000 Performance of the Night bonus for his efforts here.

Torches Sam Alvey in Vegas
Oleksiejczuk defeated Sam Alvey via TKO (punches) at 1:56 of Round 1 at UFC on ESPN 40 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
The UFC was essentially handing Oleksiejczuk a free victory given Alvey's now company-worst winless streak, but Michal still had to go out and handle his business, and he did so in resounding fashion. This fight was a wild brawl from the start, which may not have been a great idea for Oleksiejczuk given Alvey's limited offensive skill set, but he lived to tell about it. Oleksiejczuk has legitimate power and is an underrated athlete, but he struggled with both consistency and his cardio and has been prone to the submission in the past. That said, he's won three of four dating back to March 2021 and is still just 27 years of age.
