Hubbard lost to Alexander Hernandez via split decision (28-29, 29-28, 28-29) at UFC 307 on Saturday in Salt Lake City.
ANALYSIS
It was a middling performance from Hubbard in a fight that wasn't as close as the "split decision" term would lead you to believe. Hubbard tried to turn this into a grappling match, but he failed all all 12 of his takedown attempts. He also got off second in most of the striking exchanges between the two, finding himself on the short end of a 91-65 count in terms of total strikes landed. You'd have to squint pretty hard in order to give him the decision. The 32-year-old Colorado native has now alternated losses and wins in three fights since returning to the company in August 2023.

Takes decision in Vegas

April 27, 2024
Hubbard defeated Michal Figlak via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC on ESPN 55 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Whether or not Hubbard deserved to win is another story entirely, but he's the one leaving the Apex with his hand raised. Numbers wise, this fight couldn't have been any closer. Hubbard landed 99-of-220 total strikes, while Figlak was at 100-of-218. The former also connected on the only three takedowns of the bout. It sure felt watching it live that Figlak controlled the pace of the fight and was responsible for the more damaging blows, but the judges disagreed. Hubbard has his first win in his second stint with the company. He returned last August was submitted by Kurt Holobaugh in The Ultimate Fighter 31 finale.

Hubbard has lost back-to-back fights and three of his last four overall, with two of those defeats coming by way of submission, including his most recent to Kurt Holobaugh last August.

Physically, both men match up nearly identical in terms of height and reach, but Figlak is more than three years younger.
