Daniil Donchenko stopped Teodor Berggren by knockout in the second round at UFC Baku, pushing his UFC record to three consecutive victories. The 24-year-old TUF winner has now finished inside the distance in each of his three UFC appearances. Berggren suffered his first promotional loss.
Daniil Donchenko extended his perfect UFC run to three fights with a second-round knockout of Teodor Berggren at UFC Baku on June 27, 2026, cementing his status as one of the promotion's most exciting young finishers.
Donchenko, 24, improved to 15-2-0 overall and has now finished his opponent in each of his three UFC appearances. The orthodox Russian, who stands 180 centimeters tall with a 71-inch reach, was a The Ultimate Fighter winner before making his mark in the promotion. His offensive output is exceptional, landing 7.15 significant strikes per minute at a striking accuracy of 60 percent — numbers that rank among the best in his division. He has shown he can also threaten on the ground, averaging 0.77 takedowns per 15 minutes.
Berggren entered the contest undefeated in the UFC but was unable to withstand Donchenko's finishing instincts, suffering his first promotional loss. The defeat ends what had been a clean record inside the octagon for the Swedish fighter.
Why it matters
- Donchenko's three-fight finishing streak signals he is ready to push into divisional rankings contention.
- A 60 percent striking accuracy paired with over seven significant strikes per minute makes him a dangerous matchup for any opponent in his weight class.
- Berggren's first UFC loss resets his trajectory and raises questions about where he fits among the division's contenders.
