Facing Crute in July
Light HeavyweightUFC
May 21, 2025
Prachnio will take on Jimmy Crute in a light heavyweight bout at UFC 318 on July 19, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Prachnio is sitting at 4-6 in the promotion and is coming off a loss to Modestas Bukauskas in his last fight. He needs a win, but perhaps not more than his opponent Crute, who hasn't won since 2020 and is winless in his last five outings. This should be an interesting fight between two relatively desperate fighters.

Prachnio lost to Modestas Bukauskas via submission (arm-triangle choke) at 3:12 of Round 3 at UFC 304 on Saturday in Manchester, England.
ANALYSIS
This was a completely winnable fight for Prachnio, and he's going to be kicking himself following the end result. Marcin looked quite lousy the vast majority of the bout but managed to severely wobble Bukauskas in each of the final two rounds. Unfortunately for Prachnio, Modestas was able to force him to the mat immediately in both instances, and he was never able to get back to his feet. The very definition of roster depth and now 36 years of age, Prachnio has now alternated losses and wins in his last six fights dating back to June 2021.

ANALYSIS
Prachnio began his 2024 by defeating Devin Clark via unanimous decision back in February. The former has his chance to go 2-0 this year and will not need to go far to log his second consecutive win.

Prachnio defeated Devin Clark via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Known as a one-dimensional striker with durability issues, Prachnio ended up easily pulling the upset of Clark despite entering as a +185 underdog. He stuffed the only two takedown attempts from his opponent, which allowed him to remain standing and thus finish with a 112-53 edge in terms of total strikes landed. He never had Clark in any real trouble in terms of earning the finish, but Prachnio also never found himself in any trouble from a defensive standpoint. The 35-year-old has alternated wins and losses in his past five bouts.
Can't defend takedown in loss

July 8, 2023
Prachnio lost to Vitor Petrino via submission (arm-triangle choke) at 3:42 of Round 3 at UFC 290 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Petrino is known for his striking skills and power, but he flipped the script and leaned on his grappling here, and Prachnio wasn't ready for it. He allowed the Brazilian to land four takedowns for 8:39 worth of control time. Prachnio accepted his position on the mat way too easily and offered zero offense of his own off his back. The rare fighter that wasn't cut despite being knocked out in each of his first three UFC bouts, Prachnio has won three of five since, although his long-term outlook remains bleak. Prachnio will be 35 years of age less than a week after this event takes place.
