Bill Algeo

Senor Perfecto

USA

First career knockout loss
FeatherweightUFC
March 31, 2024
Algeo lost to Kyle Nelson via TKO (punches) at 4:00 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Atlantic City.
ANALYSIS
Not good. Entering as a -300 favorite, second-largest on the entire card, Algeo's striking defense was MIA for this one. Nelson isn't known as a power puncher, but Algeo was completely unable to handle everything that was sent back his way. Bill remained on his feet the entire time, but referee Gary Copeland finally (and correctly) pulled the plug with a minute left to go in the opening frame. The result was all the more shocking given the fact Algeo didn't have a single knockout defeat on his resume in his prior 25 professional fights entering the evening.

Algeo defeated Alexander Hernandez via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It was an impressive, complete performance from Algeo. In control from start to finish, Bill used his massive length advantage to pick Hernandez apart at distance. Alex simply couldn't close the distance between the two with any sort of consistency, allowing the longer Algeo to dominate. The total strike count was 119-76 in Algeo's favor, but it felt more lopsided because he attempted 100 more (257-157) strikes than Hernandez. "Senor Perfecto" has won four of five dating back to January 2022.

Rebounds for submission win
FeatherweightUFC
April 15, 2023
Algeo defeated TJ Brown via submission (rear-naked choke) at 1:40 of Round 2 at UFC on ESPN 44 on Saturday in Kansas City.
ANALYSIS
"Senor Perfecto" was far from perfect in the first five-plus minutes of this fight, but it's not how you start, it's how you finish, and Algeo closed with a bang. Bill got the worst of a back-and-forth opening frame. He consistently was able to damage Brown with leg kicks, but ate far too many power shots coming back his way. The tide turned early in Round 2 when an Algeo elbow floored his opponent before he was able to take Brown's back and choke him out. It was hairy at times, but the -200 favorite got it done. Algeo's next challenge will be to string together some victories, something he has struggled with over the course of his seven-fight (4-3) UFC run. In the meantime, he'll walk away with an extra $50,000 after this matchup was awarded Fight of the Night honors.
Taking on TJ Brown

January 18, 2023
Algeo (arm) agreed to face TJ Brown in a featherweight bout at UFC's April 15 event, Mike Heck of MMAFighting.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Algeo sustained a broken right arm during his loss to Andre Fili in September, but he's apparently been cleared to return to the Octagon. Brown defeated Erik Silva in December, which broke a two-bout losing streak.
