UFC's new signing Nick Fiore has a record of 6-0. However, a closer introspection into the fighter's record reveals that there is more to it than what meets the eye. Apparently, the 25-year-old New Hampshire native's six opponents have a combined 234 defeats on their records.Twitter user @AndyHickeyMMA tweeted about the rather unappealing stats earlier today.Andy Hickey MMA@AndyHickeyMMANick Fiore(6-0) signed to the UFC.His opponents to this point have a combined 234 defeats.26513Nick Fiore(6-0) signed to the UFC.His opponents to this point have a combined 234 defeats. https://t.co/2BFhYZZKS0The seemingly bizarre revelation spawned several hilarious responses online.Reacting to Fiore's padded record, @Patkk151515 tweeted that the mixed martial arts scene in New England was &quot;tragic&quot;:&quot;The state of the New England Regional MMA scene is just tragic.&quot;pato@Patkk151515@AndyHickeyMMA The state of the New England Regional MMA scene is just tragic.35@AndyHickeyMMA The state of the New England Regional MMA scene is just tragic.Another user, @VassilisVelios4, came to the American's defense, saying that Fiore fought good enough opponents during his early career, although he got a journeyman for his debut:&quot;He got a journeyman as his opponent for his first ever professional fight. Fought him again due to a last minute pull out. Then fought three guys who had respectable enough records considering how early on he is in his career.&quot;Will Velios@VassilisVelios4@AndyHickeyMMA He got a journeyman as his opponent for his first ever professional fight.

It’s never been this bad in my opinion3@AndyHickeyMMA Honestly the standard of UFC is at an all time low…the injuries, the retirements..the fighters leaving for other promotions.

Twitter user @Max_Connell_ claimed that many fighters in New England hold heavily padded records.It's Not Cagefighting@INCagefighting@AndyHickeyMMA I’ve said for a while the UFC’s screening process for signing talent is appalling. As long as they see the 0 next to your name and the first round stoppages they’ll sign anyone.You think they would’ve learned with Mozharov, Kassem etc.14@AndyHickeyMMA I’ve said for a while the UFC’s screening process for signing talent is appalling.

At the same time, the clearly lackluster fighter has a win over UFC welterweight Gerald Meerschaert.Nick Firoe's best opponent yet is perhaps André Borges, who had a record of 8-4 when the duo fought in 2022. His most recent opponent Stephen Stengel has a rather unappealing record of 5-20.Although the American has faced subpar competition till now, fight fans will soon get to see how Firoe will fare under the bright lights. The 25-year-old is scheduled to face Dana White's Contender Series standout Mateusz Rębecki, who has a record of 16-1, in his UFC debut.
