Sodiq Yusuff

Sodiq Yusuff arrived in the UFC as a sharp, powerful striker and built an unbeaten early run that suggested a future featherweight contender. His crisp boxing and timing made him a dangerous, technically sound presence in a deep division.

The climb got harder as the competition improved. Yusuff has weathered a tough recent stretch against the division's elite, including losses to the likes of Arnold Allen and Edson Barboza, but his finishing power means he's never out of a fight.

For casual fans, Yusuff is a skilled striker worth watching for the pop in his hands: a fighter who can hurt anyone when he commits, working to climb back up a brutally competitive featherweight ladder.
