Alden Coria

Coria won the striking exchanges decisively in the first and never let the pattern change. Each time Nicoll reached for the grappling, Coria escaped and countered with significant strikes, and he controlled the scrambles across all three rounds to cruise home 30-27, 30-27, 29-28 — a fourth straight win and a seventh fight unbeaten.

Key moments

• Took the striking exchanges clearly in round one while defending the takedown.
• Escaped each of Nicoll's grappling attempts and countered with significant strikes.
• Controlled the scrambles through all three rounds to take a comfortable decision.

Coria beat Luis Gurule by unanimous decision and showed the more patient version of his game after the fast debut finish over Alessandro Costa. The win mattered because it pushed him through a full fifteen minutes in his second UFC appearance while preserving the momentum created by the Noche UFC stoppage.

Key moments

• Won a three-round unanimous decision over Gurule at UFC Fight Night: Strickland vs. Hernandez.
• The bout went the full 15 minutes after his UFC debut had ended by stoppage.
• It moved his official record to 12-3 with the earlier Paris Moran no contest still outside the win-loss totals.

The Alessandro Costa fight was Coria's Octagon debut and he made the opening memorable by stopping an established UFC flyweight in the third round. That result did more than add a highlight finish because it showed his regional record was not inflated by opposition he could only overwhelm early.

Key moments

• Stopped Costa by KO/TKO at 0:47 of round three in his UFC debut.
• Earned the finish on Noche UFC after carrying a Fury FC and LFA background into the promotion.
• The win set up the later Luis Gurule decision as his second straight UFC result.

Coria's last pre-UFC fight ended with a second-round stoppage of German Orpineda Ponce and functioned as the final regional checkpoint before the Costa booking. It was another Fury FC finish, which mattered because the promotion is where most of his later-career momentum was built.

Key moments

• Stopped Orpineda Ponce at 3:21 of round two.
• Closed his regional run with another Fury Fighting Championship finish.
• Entered Noche UFC on the back of consecutive Fury FC wins.

The Paris Moran bout is the one line that breaks the usual win-loss rhythm on Coria's ledger because it ended as a first-round no contest. It did not count against his record, but it still belongs in the file because the complete fight history has to reconcile to the official 12-3-0 mark plus this void result.

Key moments

• The fight with Moran was ruled a no contest at 3:12 of round one.
• It sits outside Coria's official win-loss totals but remains part of the full fight ledger.
• The no contest came between the German Orpineda Ponce and Chris Ocon wins in Fury FC.

Coria stopped Chris Ocon late in the second round and kept his Fury FC run moving before the Moran no contest and final pre-UFC win. The result is useful context because it shows the knockout threat that later surfaced again against Costa was already present against better regional opposition.

Key moments

• Finished Ocon by KO/TKO at 2:22 of round two.
• Marked his second straight 2024 Fury FC win.
• Maintained his push toward the UFC call-up that arrived the following year.

Coria beat Jose Leon with a second-round technical submission at Fury FC 92 and got back on the right side of the ledger after the Alberto Trujillo decision loss. The finish mattered because it restarted his climb in Houston and showed he could still mix in grappling wins on a record that had leaned heavily on boxing and pace.

Key moments

• Submitted Leon in round two at Fury FC 92 in Houston, Texas.
• The official result was a technical submission at 2:59 of the second round.
• It moved Coria to 8-3 before the later Chris Ocon, Paris Moran and German Orpineda Ponce stretch.

The Alberto Trujillo fight is the setback that split Coria's regional momentum before he rebuilt it with three straight Fury FC wins. He went the full three rounds on the Fury FC 85 main card and dropped a unanimous decision, which made the Jose Leon rebound more important than a routine stay-busy result.

Key moments

• Lost a unanimous decision over three rounds at Fury FC 85.
• The bout took place in Houston at Imagen Venues on the main card.
• It left Coria at 7-3 before he started the next winning run later in 2024.

Coria stopped Aaron La Farge late in the second round and closed his 2023 LFA slate with a clear statement win. It mattered because it followed the Jesse Martinelli decision and gave him both sides of the regional profile in one year: he could manage fifteen minutes when needed and still produce a violent finish against experienced opposition.

Key moments

• Finished La Farge with a knee at 4:31 of round two.
• The fight happened on the main card of LFA 169 in Dallas, Texas.
• The victory pushed Coria to 7-2 before the early-2024 Trujillo loss.

Martinelli forced Coria to work through a full three rounds at LFA 157, and Coria answered with a unanimous decision on the main card. The win helped steady the record after the pair of 2022 LFA losses and set up the later Aaron La Farge knockout that completed his 2023 rebound.

Key moments

• Won a unanimous decision over Martinelli across three rounds.
• The bout took place at Mystic Lake Casino Hotel in Prior Lake, Minnesota.
• It moved Coria back to 6-2 and started a five-fight unbeaten run if the later no contest is excluded.

Coria's meeting with Joseph Camacho ended in a unanimous decision loss and gave him a second straight LFA setback in 2022. The fight still matters in the profile because it showed the pause point before he rebuilt momentum in 2023, rather than a prospect line that only moved in one direction.

Key moments

• Dropped a three-round unanimous decision at LFA 134 in Belton, Texas.
• Entered as a moderate favorite before Camacho handed him the result.
• The loss took Coria to 5-2 before the long layoff into LFA 157.

Michael Cyr handed Coria his first professional loss by rear-naked choke in the third round at LFA 121. That result is a useful hinge point because Coria had opened 5-0, stepped into a bantamweight booking as a heavy favorite, and then got finished late after the fight extended deeper than most of his earlier regional wins.

Key moments

• Lost by rear-naked choke at 3:20 of round three.
• The bout was contested at bantamweight on the LFA 121 main card in Dallas.
• It snapped Coria's 5-0 start and dropped him to 5-1.

Coria bounced back from the Rashaad Robinson knockout by tapping Donnie Ballou with a first-round guillotine at LFA 113. The win mattered because it preserved the unbeaten line at 5-0 heading into the step-up bouts that followed and reminded the file that his finishing game was not limited to punches.

Key moments

• Submitted Ballou with a guillotine choke at 3:35 of round one.
• The fight took place at flyweight on the LFA 113 main card in Belton, Texas.
• It improved Coria to 5-0 before the Michael Cyr and Joseph Camacho losses.

The Rashaad Robinson fight gave Coria one of his better early LFA wins because he had to carry the pace into the second round before finding the stoppage. That made it more informative than a quick regional blowout and pushed him to 4-0 while his competition level was starting to rise.

Key moments

• Stopped Robinson with punches at 1:05 of round two.
• The bout happened on the main card of LFA 101 in Shawnee, Oklahoma.
• It moved Coria to 4-0 a few months before the Donnie Ballou submission.

Coria submitted Calvin Harbaugh in the opening round and collected his first documented LFA win after the Fury FC start. The result mattered because it showed the promotion jump did not slow him down and because it kept the unbeaten run moving with another finish instead of a cautious debut performance.

Key moments

• Finished Harbaugh by rear-naked choke at 2:20 of round one.
• The fight was booked at bantamweight on the preliminary card of LFA 90 in Sioux Falls.
• It pushed Coria to 3-0 before the 2021 Robinson and Ballou wins.

Hendricks gave Coria the first scorecard win of his professional career, and Coria handled the full three rounds cleanly at Fury FC 39. That fight matters because it established that the early regional version of Coria could bank rounds as well as chase finishes, a theme that later reappeared in several LFA and UFC wins.

Key moments

• Won a unanimous decision over Hendricks across three rounds.
• The bout happened at a 130-pound catchweight on the Fury FC 39 main card in Houston.
• It advanced Coria to 2-0 less than three months after his pro debut.

Coria started his pro career with a fast Von Flue choke over Brandon Pate at Fury FC 35. It remains a useful entry because it set the tone for the finish-heavy early run and showed straight away that his record would not be built on one method alone.

Key moments

• Won his pro debut by Von Flue choke at 1:17 of round one.
• The fight took place on the Fury FC 35 main card in Humble, Texas.
• It opened Coria's official record at 1-0 before the later Hendricks decision.
