Oluwale Bamgbose (born August 4, 1987) is an Nigerian American mixed martial artist[2] currently fighting in the middleweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). He lives in and fights out of The Bronx, New York.

Mixed martial arts career

After competing as an amateur for one year, Bamgbose made his professional debut in June 2013. While competing exclusively for the regional promotion Ring of Combat, he amassed a record of 5-0, finishing all of his opponents in the first round before signing with the Ultimate Fighting Championship in the summer of 2015.[2]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Bamgbose made his promotional debut as a short notice replacement against Uriah Hall on August 8, 2015 at UFC Fight Night 73.[3] Bamgbose lost the fight by TKO in the first round.[4]

Bamgbose next faced Daniel Sarafian on February 21, 2016 at UFC Fight Night 83, again as a short notice replacement, filling in for an injured Sam Alvey.[5][6] Bamgbose won the fight via knockout in the first round.[7]

For a third straight fight, Bamgbose was tabbed as an injury replacement and faced Cezar Ferreira on April 16, 2016 at UFC on Fox 19, filling in for an injured Caio Magalhães.[8] He lost the fight via unanimous decision.[9]

Bamgbose was briefly linked to a bout with Josh Samman on December 9, 2016 at UFC Fight Night 102. However the pairing never materialized as Samman died on October 5, 2016.[10] Bamgbose will instead face Joe Gigliotti at the event.[11]
