Ollie Schmid
The Hungarian Stallion

Crushed in late-notice debut
Schmid lost to Marwan Rahiki via TKO (punches) at 2:47 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Perth, Australia.
ANALYSIS
Schmid agreed to this fight just a few days ago and was north of a +500 underdog, second-largest on the entire card, so this was very much the expected result. He ate a bunch of big shots early on before being put away with a left hand midway through Round 1. Schmid is just 25 years old and a City Kickboxing guy, so you know he's getting quality training on a daily basis, but he was wildly inconsistent on the regional scene prior to getting the call to the UFC. That said, he's likely to get another opportunity with the company following his willingness to face Rahiki here on short notice.

Set for short-notice debut
Schmid will step in on short notice to face Marwan Rahiki in a featherweight matchup at UFC Perth on Saturday, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Schmid is a 25-year-old who is just 4-2 in professional fights since making his pro debut in 2023, but he gets the short-notice call here, likely due to his affiliation with the Australia-based City Kickboxing. He'll face a tough ask in his debut, as his opponent is a highly-regarded, undefeated prospect in Rahiki who earned stoppage wins on both Contender Series and in his official UFC debut last March.
