Jesus Aguilar

Mexico

Winning streak snapped at three
FlyweightUFC
February 15, 2025
Aguilar lost to Rafael Estevam via unanimous decision (28-29, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
When we last saw Aguilar last August, he was missing weight prior to earning a first-round submission win over Stewart Nicoll. He had no problems with the scale this evening, but his complete inability to defend a takedown was his ultimate undoing. Aguilar allowed Estevam to connect on 11-of-19 takedown attempts, good for 9:22 worth of control time. Jesus did a nice job of defending from a compromising position, but he simply didn't generate enough offense to potentially pull the upset. Aguilar sees a three-fight winning streak snapped in the process.

Submission win after weight miss
FlyweightUFC
August 17, 2024
Aguilar defeated Stewart Nicoll via technical submission (guillotine choke) at 2:39 of Round 1 at UFC 305 on Saturday in Perth, Australia.
ANALYSIS
Aguilar did an excellent job here of picking up an upset win against a debuting prospect in Nicoll who many people think highly of. Unfortunately, much of that good work was negated by the fact he missed weight by a pound and a half Friday. Aguilar struggled with the physicality of Nicoll early on, but the latter got over aggressive and left his neck exposed, and Jesus took full advantage. Aguilar has now racked up three straight wins, including two via stoppage, on the heels of his predictable setback against Tatsuro Taira in his UFC debut back in February 2023.

Secures second straight win
FlyweightUFC
February 24, 2024
Aguilar defeated Mateus Mendonca via split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Mexico City.
ANALYSIS
Either man could have gotten the call here, and it would have been perfectly acceptable. Aguilar had issues defending the takedown all night long. He gave up 4-of-8 attempts, but to his credit, constantly worked to try to get back to his feet. Aguilar was somewhat fortunate because he didn't land the typical volume on the feet (38 total strikes, 19 significant) and needed to overcome a strong wrestling performance from his opponent, but two of the three judges felt he did enough. Aguilar has won two straight on the heels of a submission loss to top prospect Tatsuro Taira in his UFC debut about a year ago.
