Hugo fight up next
Alateng is scheduled to compete against Victor Hugo in a bantamweight fight at UFC Vegas 90 on April 6, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Alateng will look to get back on track in 2024. After a long layoff during 2023, which also saw him have a fight canceled and be a short-notice replacement, he finished the year with a decision loss to Chris Gutierrez. Hugo has yet to debut in the UFC after missing weight in his first attempt, but he enters the aforementioned fight with a 24-4 MMA record.

Drops decision in Vegas
Alateng lost to Chris Gutierrez via unanimous decision (27-30, 27-30, 27-30) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
This was a tough spot for Alateng, as he accepted this bout just a couple weeks ago and went up against a quality opponent. He managed to get his grappling game going to some extent in the closing minutes of the fight, but he absorbed far too many leg kicks early on which left him hobbled the rest of the way. The early damage from Gutierrez meant Alateng had no chance of winning a decision. While the result is disappointing, Heili entered with a 4-1-1 record in his first half-dozen UFC bouts, so his roster spot is plenty secure.

Not fighting Yahya
Alateng will not fight Rani Yahya at UFC Vegas 81, according to Nolan King of USA Today.
ANALYSIS
Yahya withdrew from his scheduled fight against Alateng, who will need a new opponent. Fortunately for him, UFC Vegas 81 is still more than three weeks away, so it is plausible he can get a new opponent if both fighters can negotiate a deal to fight at that card.
