Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Oleksiejczuk started his MMA career in 2014. Fighting primarily in Poland, he amassed a record of 12–2 prior to being signed by UFC in 2017.[4]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Oleksiejczuk was expected to have made his UFC debut to face Ion Cuțelaba on November 4, 2017, at UFC 217, replacing injured Gadzhimurad Antigulov.[5] In turn after the weigh-ins, Cuțelaba was pulled from the event by USADA due to a potential Anti-Doping Policy violation stemming from its investigation into voluntary disclosures by Cuțelaba during an out-of-competition sample collections on October 18 and October 19. Cuțelaba was provisionally suspended and the bout was scrapped.[6]

Oleksiejczuk's UFC debut was finally set on December 30, 2017, facing Khalil Rountree Jr. and replacing injured Gökhan Saki, at UFC 219.[7] However, after the fight, it was revealed that Oleksiejczuk had tested positive for clomiphene, an anti-estrogenic substance. As a result, the Nevada Athletic Commission (NAC) officially overturned the result of the fight to a no contest and Oleksiejczuk received one year suspension by USADA.[8]

Oleksiejczuk returned to octagon one year later to face Gian Villante on February 23, 2019, at UFC Fight Night: Błachowicz vs. Santos.[9] He won the fight via TKO due to a body punch early in the first round.[10] This win earned him the Performance of the Night award.[11]

Oleksiejczuk faced Gadzhimurad Antigulov on April 20, 2019, replacing Roman Dolidze, at UFC Fight Night: Overeem vs. Oleinik.[12] Oleksiejczuk won the fight via knockout in the first round.[13]
