In the unforgiving world of combat sports, where mistakes are not tolerated and differences are measured in seconds and calculated strikes, young Frenchman Théo Ulrich, only 23 years old, delivered a clear message to the MMA community: “I’m coming, and I won’t be waiting my turn.”
In the co-main event of Hexagone MMA 28, held this Saturday in The Hague, Netherlands, Ulrich faced a tough opponent in Colombian Harold Andres Osorio, in a 73 kg bout.

What looked on paper like a balanced fight turned into a one-sided showcase inside the cage, ending with a second-round technical knockout.
Technical Analysis: When Simplicity Becomes Terrifying
What defined Théo Ulrich’s performance wasn’t just his physical power or his finishing ability, but rather his calm before the storm, and his simple, precise execution. From the very first seconds, he imposed a fast pace without rushing, using his jab as a tool of control and keeping Osorio constantly on the defensive.
In round two, the turning point came: a clean striking sequence, a perfect lateral movement, and a targeted right-leg attack. Osorio was overwhelmed, and the referee stopped the fight.
The TKO didn’t come out of nowhere—it was the result of deliberate, accumulated pressure. Ulrich wasn’t reacting—he was constructing.
A Message to the European Scene: Don’t Underestimate the Rookies
Ulrich now boasts a 5-0 professional record, with four wins inside the distance. He’s not climbing the ranks slowly; he’s leaping over them with talent and precision.
Yes, his past opponents may not be elite contenders yet, but his style speaks volumes. Some fighters need dozens of bouts to make a name—others do it in round two, with one perfectly timed move.
Conclusion: Ulrich – Between Ambition and Discipline
Few things are more dangerous than a young fighter who combines physical conditioning, tactical intelligence, and mental discipline. Théo Ulrich holds all three. The question is no longer if he will succeed, but how far… and how soon.
At Hexagone MMA 28, we may not have just witnessed the end of a fight—we may have witnessed the beginning of a story.
