Gilbert Urbina

Urbina's most recent UFC appearance ended almost immediately when Uros Medic knocked him out 63 seconds into the first round. The result mattered because it extended the losing run to two straight after the Charles Radtke defeat and reinforced how little margin he has had for error since moving back and forth between welterweight and middleweight opportunities.

Key moments

• The official result was a first-round knockout loss at 1:03 to Uros Medic.
• The bout came one fight after the February 2024 stoppage loss to Charles Radtke.
• It stood as Urbina's last recorded fight before the Aug. 1, 2026 booking against Vlasto Cepo.

Urbina had moments of success against Radtke, including stance switches, kicks and a takedown attempt, but the finishing exchanges belonged to the shorter puncher. Sherdog's play-by-play described Radtke dropping him with a left, then blasting him again when he rose, forcing the stoppage at 4:47 of round one.

Key moments

• Radtke dropped Urbina with a clean left late in the opening round.
• Urbina popped back up after the first knockdown but was hurt again immediately in the follow-up exchange.
• The official finish came at 4:47 of round one by TKO due to punches.

The Cosce fight remains Urbina's clearest UFC success because he handled both the scrambles and the striking momentum shifts before closing hard in round two. Sherdog's report described him hurting Cosce early, dominating long stretches of the first round on top, then breaking him with a front kick to the body and follow-up knees for the stoppage at 2:55.

Key moments

• Dropped Cosce early in round one and later secured full mount with sustained elbows and punches.
• A front kick to the body visibly hurt Cosce in the second round and forced him to shell up.
• Urbina finished with Thai-plum knees at 2:55 of round two for his first UFC victory.

Urbina stepped into the TUF 29 final as a late replacement for the injured Tresean Gore and nearly stole it in the first round. Sherdog's round-by-round report had him winning the opener on all three media cards before Battle reversed a takedown, took the back and squeezed out the second-round rear-naked choke to win the contract.

Key moments

• Sherdog's three round scorers all gave Urbina the first round after he hurt Battle and controlled top position.
• Battle turned the fight in round two by reversing position and taking Urbina's back on the mat.
• The official finish was a rear-naked choke at 2:15 of the second round in the TUF 29 middleweight final.

UFC's own athlete facts identify the Tresean Gore semifinal knockout as part of Urbina's career line, and it is the missing loss that reconciles the UFC page's 7-5-0 record. The show recap notes that Gore landed several powerful shots across the first two rounds before a counter left hook produced the knockout and sent Gore to the scheduled final before he later withdrew with a knee injury.

Key moments

• UFC's athlete page lists the semifinal loss to Tresean Gore as a second-round knockout at 1:14.
• The TUF 29 episode recap says Gore landed several powerful shots before the finishing counter left hook.
• Gore's later knee injury is why Urbina still ended up in the live TUF final against Bryan Battle 11 days later.

Urbina rebounded from his first pro loss by winning a five-round main-event type fight over Angelo Trevino at Combate Americas in Garland.

• The official scorecards were a clean 30-27 across three rounds.

Urbina's unbeaten start ended against future UFC contender Sean Brady in the LFA 49 main event. The New Jersey commission results show Brady sweeping all three cards 30-27, making it a clear but valuable step-up fight for Urbina against a higher-level welterweight prospect.
