Added to UFC Houston card
Leavitt will fight Yadier Del Valle at UFC Houston on Feb. 21, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Leavitt has had some time off after taking down Kurt Holobaugh at UFC on ESPN 68 in May, improving to 12-3 in professional fights. However, he'll have his work cut out for him against an opponent in Del Valle who is 2-0 since securing a UFC contract.

Dominates in return from layoff
Leavitt defeated Kurt Holobaugh via technical submission (anaconda choke) at 1:39 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Leavitt's style isn't for everyone, but he's a legitimate high-end grappler, as Holobaugh found out first hand here. He fired off four takedowns in the brief fight, landing three of them, good for 1:27 worth of control time. The transition to the anaconda choke which put Holobaugh away was a thing of beauty. It would go on to earn him a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus. Leavitt has zero power, and that limits his ceiling massively, but he can hang with any man in the division in a grappling match. He's alternated wins and losses in his last five fights.

Next fighter schduled
Leavitt will face Kurt Holobaugh in a lightweight fight during UFC Vegas 107 on May 31, Nolan King of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Leavitt last faced a challenger back in November 2023 since he pulled out from his scheduled fight against Abdul-Kareem Al-Selwady at UFC Saudi Arabia in February. The Monkey King will now face Kurt Holobaugh, who has over 20 victories and is coming off another triumph.

Pulls out of fight
Leavitt (undisclosed) has withdrawn from his scheduled fight against Abdul-Kareem Al-Selwady at UFC Saudi Arabia, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
It's unclear why Leavitt was forced to pull out of the event, but he will now need to wait a bit longer to bounce back from his loss to Chase Hooper in November 2023. Bolaji Oki will step in to take Leavitt's place.

Finally scheduled for fight
Leavitt is scheduled to compete against Abdul-Kareem Al-Selwady in a lightweight fight at UFC Saudi Arabia on Feb. 1, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Assuming the Feb. 1 fight goes through, it would be Leavitt's first since 2023. He sat out 2024 after tapping out to Chase Hooper at the tail-end of the previous year. Leavitt is 11-3 all-time but 4-3 in the UFC.
