Destroys Matthew Semelsberger
WelterweightUFC
November 9, 2024
Radtke defeated Matthew Semelsberger via TKO (punches) at 0:51 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Radtke displayed big power at times during his run on the regional scene and it's nice to see that carrying over to the UFC. Semelsberger has major durability issues, but Radtke was easily able to put him away with a quick one-two combination. "Chuck Buffalo" has minimal experience for a guy that turned 34 years of age in July, but he's already 3-1 in the UFC and his lone defeat came to an high-end opponent in Carlos Prates. Radtke's roster spot is plenty secure, even if his long-term upside appears pretty limited.

Radtke lost to Carlos Prates via KO (knee) at 4:47 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Louisville, Kentucky.
ANALYSIS
Things came crashing down here on Radtke, and it happened in a hurry. There wasn't a whole heck of a lot going on in Round 1, at which point "Chuck Buffalo" got clipped with a crushing knee to the gut which finished him in an instant. Prates walked away immediately knowing the fight was done, but it still took referee Blake Grice a few seconds to comprehend what had happened. Radtke began his UFC run with back-to-back wins over Blood Diamond and Gilbert Urbina, but things predictably got more difficult as the competition level was raised. The 33-year-old Illinois native is nothing more than roster depth.

Remains perfect in UFC
WelterweightUFC
February 3, 2024
Radtke defeated Gilbert Urbina via TKO (punches) at 4:47 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Radtke was unimpressive in a unanimous decision win over Blood Diamond in Australia last September, but he rebounded with an overwhelming effort here against Urbina as a +180 underdog. Radtke kept things simple and easily crushed Gilbert in all the striking exchanges between the two. He was credited with a pair of knockdowns before referee Mark Smith had finally seen enough. There's no reason to think the 33-year-old Illinois native will continue winning given his uneven results on the regional scene, but he's emerged victorious in his first two UFC bouts.
Booked against Urbina
WelterweightUFC
November 29, 2023
Radtke will fight Gilbert Urbina at UFC Vegas 85 on Feb. 3, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Radtke defeated Blood Diamond in his UFC debut and will look to remain perfect within the promotion against a 1-1 opponent. Radtke hasn't lost a professional fight since 2021, though he will have to overcome a three-inch reach disadvantage against Urbina.
