The career of "Hussar" is best analyzed through his transition between weight classes and his evolution as a striker within the Octagon. Since making his debut in 2017, Oleksiejczuk has faced high-level competition across multiple continents.

The Light Heavyweight Phase (2017–2022)

Oleksiejczuk entered the UFC as a highly touted prospect from the Polish regional circuit, where he held the Thunderstrike Fight League (TFL) Light Heavyweight title.

The Debut and Controversy (UFC 219) On December 30, 2017, Oleksiejczuk faced Khalil Rountree Jr. He originally won the fight via unanimous decision after displaying impressive cardio and boxing. However, the result was later overturned to a No Contest (NC) after Oleksiejczuk tested positive for clomiphene. This led to a one-year suspension by USADA.

Return to Action (2019) Upon his return, Oleksiejczuk recorded two of his most clinical performances:

  • vs. Gian Villante (Feb 23, 2019): Victory via TKO (body punch) at 1:34 of Round 1. This earned him a "Performance of the Night" bonus.
  • vs. Gadzhimurad Antigulov (April 20, 2019): Victory via KO (punches) at 0:44 of Round 1.

Setbacks and Recovery (2019–2021) Following his rapid rise, Oleksiejczuk faced grappling-heavy opponents that exposed defensive vulnerabilities:

  • vs. Jimmy Crute (Feb 23, 2020): Loss via submission (Kimura) in Round 1.

He rebounded with a split decision win over Modestas Bukauskas at UFC 260 and a dominant first-round TKO against Shamil Gamzatov at UFC 267. His final fight in the Light Heavyweight division was a unanimous decision loss to Dustin Jacoby at UFC 272.

Transitioning to the Middleweight Division (2022–Present)

In mid-2022, Oleksiejczuk made the strategic decision to drop to the 185-pound Middleweight division, seeking a size and speed advantage.

The Middleweight Debut and Momentum

  • vs. Sam Alvey (Aug 6, 2022): Victory via TKO (punches) in Round 1. This debut proved that his power translated effectively to the lower weight class.
  • vs. Cody Brundage (Dec 17, 2022): Victory via KO (punches) at 3:16 of Round 1. Another "Performance of the Night" accolade.
