Alden Coria bio
Personal background
Alden "Cobra" Coria is an American bantamweight who competes in the UFC with a 12-3 professional record. Born on April 24, 1998, in Houston, Texas, Coria found his way into combat sports after dealing with bullying as a kid, using the gym to build confidence and discipline. He came up at 4oz. Fight Club in Houston, a program that has produced several UFC-level talents, and for years held down full-time work – as a mechanic, a cell tower technician, and in machining – while chasing the sport. A 5'8" fighter with a 67-inch reach, he forged his game as a daily training partner inside one of Texas's most active fight rooms, sharpening himself against championship-level intensity.
Path to the UFC
Coria turned professional in 2019 and spent the next several years on the U.S. regional circuit, fighting most often for Fury FC and LFA. He opened his career with a first-round Von Flue choke of Brandon Pate at Fury FC 35 and quickly stacked finishes, mixing submissions and stoppages against rising prospects. Two losses in 2022 – a third-round submission to Michael Cyr and a decision to unbeaten Joseph Camacho – tested him, but he answered with a steady run of wins back in Houston, including TKO finishes of Aaron La Farge, Chris Ocon, and German Orpineda Ponce. By late 2024 he was knocking on the UFC's door.
Breakthrough and UFC arrival
Coria's momentum hit a snag in January 2025, when his Fury FC 100 meeting with Paris Moran was ruled a No Contest after being overturned. He rebounded immediately, and the call he had worked years for finally came on short notice: famously sleeping in his truck outside the gym, Coria stepped in at Noche UFC in San Antonio and made the most of it. On September 13, 2025, he stopped the experienced Alessandro Costa by third-round TKO, a statement debut against a 14-4 opponent that announced him as more than a fill-in.
Establishing himself
Coria backed up the debut in his first scheduled UFC appearance, returning to Houston for UFC Fight Night on February 21, 2026, and outworking Luis Gurule over three rounds for a unanimous decision. The win pushed his record to 12-3 and gave him consecutive victories inside the promotion, validating the short-notice splash and positioning him as a bantamweight prospect to track.
Fighting style
Coria is a finisher first, with a 75% finish rate across his career and a balanced toolkit: five of his wins have come by knockout and four by submission, with three going to decision. That two-way threat – heavy hands that produced TKO stoppages of Costa, Ocon, and La Farge, paired with a chaining submission game that includes a Von Flue choke, rear-naked choke, guillotine, and arm-triangle – makes him difficult to prepare for. His decision win over Gurule also showed he can manage a fight over 15 minutes when the finish doesn't come, a sign of the maturity that years on the regional grind instilled.
Career highlights
- Statement UFC debut — stopped Alessandro Costa by third-round TKO on short notice at Noche UFC, turning a life-changing call into an emphatic first impression.
- Back-to-back UFC wins — followed the debut with a unanimous-decision victory over Luis Gurule in his home city of Houston to open 2026 at 2-0 in the promotion.
- Proven finisher — built a 12-3 record with a 75% finish rate, splitting his finishes evenly between knockouts and submissions during a long regional run with Fury FC and LFA.
