Luis Gurule

USA
Remains winless in UFC
Gurule lost to Alden Coria via unanimous decision (27-30, 27-30, 27-30) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Houston.
ANALYSIS
Gurule entered having lost each of his first two UFC fights and the company did him no favors here against a prospect in Coria that appears to have a very bright future. As a result, it was the expected outcome for Luis as a +300 underdog. To his credit, he tried to mix things up and remain aggressive, but Coria's massive edge in both speed and technical skill were too much to overcome. Gurule had a 10-0 professional record when he joined the UFC last April, but he simply hasn't been able to get on track at the highest level. It would be surprising if he got another shot with the company.

Looks to snap losing streak
Gurule will take on Alden Coria in a flyweight matchup at UFC Houston on February 21, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
It has been a rough start to Gurule's UFC career after getting his opportunity on Dana White's Contender Series in October of 2024. He lost both of his 2025 appearances to Ode Osbourne and Jesus Aguilar, so this could be his last chance to right the ship. Coria, meanwhile, won his UFC debut against Alessandro Costa via third-round TKO in September. Coria will also enter with height and reach advantages.

Still searching for first UFC win
Gurule lost to Jesus Aguilar via unanimous decision (28-29, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC Noche on Saturday in San Antonio.
ANALYSIS
Entering as a -185 favorite, it took Gurule more than a round to find his range. Once he did, he was clearly the better fighter through the middle part of the bout. Yet, with the decision hanging in the balance in the final moments, Gurule ate a couple huge blows which ensured Aguilar would win Round 3 -- and the fight -- as a result. The 31-year-old Colorado native had plenty of success on the regional scene prior to his UFC arrival in April, but he's now lost each of his first two official fights with the company and will likely need a win his next time out in order to save his job.

Finished in UFC debut
Gurule lost to Ode Osbourne via TKO (punches) at 1:54 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Entering as a -220 favorite for your UFC debut and being knocked out by a guy that entered the evening with a 4-6 career mark with the company is a bad look for Gurule. To be fair, he won Round 1 on all three scorecards on the strength of a takedown and 2:17 worth of control time, but Osbourne clipped him with a left hand which sent Gurule crumbling to the mat and forced referee Jason Herzog to eventually intervene. Many were high on the Colorado native being a potential notable addition to the flyweight division, but this performance suggests otherwise.
