Bantamweight (135lbs): 2-1 (MMA), Making UFC debut on October 17

Featherweight (145lbs): 8-1, 1 NC (MMA)

The last time that Mark Striegl fought in the bantamweight division was almost five years ago in December of 2015. Since that fight, Mark has fought at featherweight and one catchweight bout at 149lbs. In the past, Mark has had catchweight bouts as high as 160lbs.

Striegl won the URCC Featherweight Championship in 2018 and has had the majority of his professional MMA fights in the division. But for his UFC debut on October 17, as many newcomers do, Mark will drop a weight class and cut back down to 135lbs at 32 years old.
