Seokhyeon Ko earned a unanimous decision victory at UFC Vegas 124, taking all three scorecards 30-27 across a full 15 minutes. The result marks his third UFC win. The opponent was not identified in the available details.
Seokhyeon Ko went the full 15 minutes at UFC Vegas 124 and left with a unanimous decision, collecting a 30-27 score from all three judges. The sweep gives the Korean welterweight his third win inside the UFC, the promotion reported.
Ko, nicknamed "The Korean Tyson," now stands at 13-3-0 on his professional record. The 33-year-old southpaw stands five-foot-ten, or 178 cm, with a 71-inch reach. His numbers show a fighter who lands at a steady clip and stays accurate: 3.15 significant strikes per minute at 50 percent accuracy. He also averages three takedowns per 15 minutes, though he rarely hunts submissions, attempting just 0.2 per 15 minutes.
Why it matters
Ko's UFC run has leaned heavily on the scorecards. The data shows how he got here:
- His most recent recorded fight before this one was a unanimous decision loss to Jean-Paul Lebosnoyani on July 18, 2026.
- Before that, he won back-to-back unanimous decisions, beating Phil Rowe on November 1, 2025, and Oban Elliott on June 21, 2025.
- Every UFC result in his recorded history has gone the distance, and this clean 30-27 sweep marks his most lopsided scoring in those bouts.
A score of 30-27 on all three cards means the judges gave Ko every round, a notably decisive way to follow a defeat. His takedown average of three per 15 minutes and his 50 percent striking accuracy point to a fighter who builds rounds through consistent output and control rather than chasing finishes, and the result fits that profile.
The result also gives Ko a bounce-back win after the loss to Lebosnoyani, restoring a winning mark in his UFC ledger at three victories.
