In his most recent fight, Waldo Cortes-Acosta notched his inaugural stoppage victory in the UFC, and let’s just say, it wasn’t for the faint of heart.
During the highlighted preliminary heavyweight matchup at the UFC Singapore showdown on Saturday, Cortes-Acosta faced off against Lukasz Brzeski. The early phases of the bout were characterized by deliberate, unhurried action, but don’t let that fool you. When Cortes-Acosta unleashed a thunderous standing elbow, Brzeski’s legs started doing the cha-cha—unplanned, of course. Capitalizing on this vulnerability, Cortes-Acosta moved in for the kill, delivering a final strike that catapulted Brzeski, face-first, into the mat, sealing the swift conclusion of the fight.

Since securing a contract via Dana White’s Contender Series in the summer of 2022, the 31-year-old Cortes-Acosta has been far from a mat-side ornament. He’s thrown down in the octagon four times to be exact. He kicked off his UFC journey with decision triumphs over Jared Vanderaa and Chase Sherman. Although he tasted defeat for the first time in his pro career against Marcos Rogerio de Lima this past April, Cortes-Acosta rebounded like a pro in his latest outing, which also marked his first fight beyond the confines of the APEX arena.
As for Lukasz Brzeski, his future with the UFC appears to be hanging by a thread, thinner than Spider-Man’s webbing. The fighter has now chalked up his third consecutive loss since inking a deal with the UFC, making his continued tenure with the promotion increasingly uncertain.
