Torrez Finney bio
Personal background
Torrez Finney is an American middleweight competing in the UFC under the nickname "The Punisher," carrying a professional record of 11-1. Born on October 24, 1998, in Chattanooga, Tennessee, he built his athletic foundation on the wrestling mat, winning two high school state wrestling titles in Georgia and going 40-0 in his senior season. He went on to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, where he competed as a Mocs football player and briefly wrestled before discovering mixed martial arts during his college years. Standing 5'7" with a notably long 75-inch reach for the weight class, Finney trains out of Agoge Combatives in Chattanooga, where he translated his elite grappling base into a finishing-heavy MMA game.
Path to the UFC
Finney turned professional in 2022 and wasted little time, opening his career with a second-round TKO of Wesley McCracken and following it with a first-round knockout of Jake Zogg. He stayed busy on regional cards such as iKON FC and Aries Fight Series, where his wrestling-and-power combination produced a string of stoppages, including a third-round TKO of Ivan Batinich and a first-round finish of EL J Portee. The run earned him repeated looks on Dana White's Contender Series, where he eventually secured his UFC deal after multiple standout performances.
Contender Series and the call-up
Finney first turned heads on the Contender Series in October 2023, submitting unbeaten prospect Yuri Panferov by second-round rear-naked choke. He returned to the platform in 2024 and stacked two more wins, decisioning Cam Rowston over three rounds in August before stopping Abdellah Er-Ramy by first-round TKO that October. The persistence paid off with a UFC contract, capping one of the more determined multi-appearance Contender Series runs in recent memory and setting the stage for his Octagon debut.
Octagon test
Finney made his UFC debut in April 2025, edging Robert Valentin by split decision over three rounds to keep his unbeaten record intact at 11-0. The momentum hit a wall in January 2026 at UFC 325 in Sydney, where he dropped a three-round unanimous decision to Jacob Malkoun, suffering the first loss of his professional career. The defeat against a grappling-savvy opponent offered an early lesson about the jump in competition at the UFC level for a fighter whose game had been built on overwhelming regional opposition.
Fighting style
Finney is a finisher first, with seven of his eleven wins coming by knockout and one by submission for a 73 percent finish rate, one of the higher marks among UFC middleweight prospects. His two-time state-champion wrestling base lets him dictate where fights take place, and he pairs that control with genuine knockout power and a long 75-inch reach that helps him land from distance. His three career decisions show he can also win on the cards when needed. His unanimous-decision loss to Malkoun highlighted the area he most needs to shore up: neutralizing high-level grapplers who can take his wrestling away and force him into a measured, position-heavy battle.
Career highlights
- 73 percent finish rate — seven knockouts and a submission across eleven wins make him one of the more dangerous finishers among the division's emerging contenders.
- Multi-appearance Contender Series run — submitted Yuri Panferov and beat Cam Rowston and Abdellah Er-Ramy to earn his UFC contract through sheer persistence.
- Undefeated UFC debut — outpointed Robert Valentin by split decision in April 2025 to reach 11-0 before tasting his first professional loss.
