Just three of Abdul-Malik's fights have gone past the first round. The unbeaten Abdul-Malik earned a contract on Dana White's Contender Series in 2024. Prior to tonight, his UFC run has seen him finish Dusko Todorovic and Nick Klein before a no contest with Cody Brundage at UFC Atlanta earlier this year.
Trocoli is now 0-3 since joining the UFC.
