Cody Haddon extended his winning streak to seven fights with a second-round liver shot stoppage of Aori Qileng at UFC Macau on May 30, 2026, earning one of the more emphatic finishes on the card.
Haddon, now 8-1, is a 27-year-old Australian bantamweight fighting out of Luistro Combat Academy. Standing five-foot-seven with a 69-inch reach, the orthodox striker has built a reputation as one of the more relentless volume fighters in the division, landing an eye-catching 9.2 significant strikes per minute at 51 percent accuracy. He also contributes on the ground, averaging 2.48 takedowns per 15 minutes, making him a genuine threat across all phases.

Why it matters
- Haddon's seven-fight winning streak firmly positions him as a name to watch in the bantamweight division.
- A finish via body shot underscores his striking variety, adding to the difficulty opponents face when preparing for him.
- Qileng's inability to string together consecutive wins raises questions about where he fits in the current bantamweight landscape.
