Olli Schmid defeats Keiichiro Nakamura by unanimous decision

Olli Schmid took a unanimous decision over Keiichiro Nakamura, with all three judges scoring the fight for Schmid after the bout went the full distance.

The result is a setback for Nakamura, a 27-year-old Japanese fighter who trains with EXFIGHT. Entering the fight, the southpaw held an 8-1 record, and the defeat is the second of his career. His most recent recorded fight before this one came on January 31, 2026, at UFC 325: Volkanovski vs. Lopes 2, where he stopped Sebastian Szalay by KO/TKO in the third round.

That finish fit the profile Nakamura's numbers suggest. He lands 4.48 significant strikes per minute at 41 percent accuracy, and his takedown and submission attempt rates both sit at zero per 15 minutes. In other words, he has been a pure striker. At five-foot-ten with a 70-inch reach, he stands 178 cm tall with a 178 cm reach, so he has no length advantage built into his frame.

Going the distance marks a change of pace for him. His last recorded win ended inside the final round, while this loss was decided entirely on the scorecards. With three judges aligned on the outcome, there was little room for controversy.

Why it matters

• Nakamura's winning run ends, with his recent form moving from a third-round stoppage in January to a decision loss in November.
• A unanimous verdict means Schmid won on all three scorecards rather than through a split of opinion, a clean result for his record.
• Nakamura's career mark now stands at 8-2-0 after the loss.

Schmid's own record and background were not part of the figures available for this report, so the full picture of what the win does for his standing will come into focus as his details are updated.
