Gets right back in win column
Alateng defeated Kleydson Rodrigues via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It was a shockingly easy win for Alateng as a +140 underdog. He didn't do anything special other than getting physical with Rodrigues and turning it into a grappling battle. Alateng, not a noted wrestler, landed 3-of-4 takedown attempts, good for 8:16 worth of control time. That, combined with the fact Rodrigues landed no notable offense of his own, made the decision a foregone conclusion. Alateng quietly improves to 3-1 in his past four bouts.

Hugo fight up next
Alateng is scheduled to compete against Victor Hugo in a bantamweight fight at UFC Vegas 90 on April 6, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Alateng will look to get back on track in 2024. After a long layoff during 2023, which also saw him have a fight canceled and be a short-notice replacement, he finished the year with a decision loss to Chris Gutierrez. Hugo has yet to debut in the UFC after missing weight in his first attempt, but he enters the aforementioned fight with a 24-4 MMA record.
