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.

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Leavitt (undisclosed) has withdrawn from his scheduled fight against Abdul-Kareem Al-Selwady at UFC Saudi Arabia, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.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.

Taps out to Chase Hooper
Leavitt lost to Chase Hooper via submission (rear-naked choke) at 2:58 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
A submission loss in under three minutes is never a great sign, but it's difficult to say Leavitt looked poor here. Both men had their moments in what was a three-minute ground battle. Eventually, the long limbs of Hooper won out, as Leavitt found himself caught in a rear-naked choke, at which point he tapped out almost immediately. A member of the UFC roster for nearly three years, Leavitt has never been able to find any sort of consistency -- good or bad -- through seven fights with the company. Leavitt's record sits at 4-3.
