Mickaël Lebout Record, stats and next fight

Analysis

Mickaël Lebout has built a career on the European circuit since 2011, with a notable run in the UFC and titles won in Poland and France. The Parisian welterweight holds a record of 24 wins, 13 losses, 2 draws and one no contest, earned mostly by decision.

Background

Born on August 16, 1987 in Paris, Mickaël Lebout started MMA in 2011 and trains at MMA Factory within the Obyfight group. He first built his record on the French regional circuit, with wins earned both by submission and on the scorecards, before winning the PLMMA welterweight title, which he defended once. This developmental period, marked by a mix of wins and formative setbacks, opened the door to continental organizations, where from the mid-2010s he faced opponents from across Europe and beyond.

His progress carried him to the Ultimate Fighting Championship, where he earned a contract in 2015 after several seasons proving himself on the European circuit. That stage remained the high point of his career at the time and confirmed his place among the most consistent French welterweights of his generation on continental cards.

Career in Major Leagues

After his UFC stint, Lebout continued his career at M-1 Global, Cage Warriors and then Konfrontacja Sztuk Walki, moving through some of the continent’s most demanding organizations. In 2019, he challenged the M-1 Global lightweight champion but lost by medical stoppage tied to an injury, a setback that did not slow his presence on major cards. On the French scene, he won a unanimous decision over Karl Amoussou at ARES FC 10 in December 2022, one of the most talked-about wins of his recent run, before losing by strikes to Laureano Staropoli at ARES FC 14 the following year.

He then joined the roster of Poland’s KSW, one of Eastern Europe’s most followed organizations, where he won a unanimous decision over Romain Debienne in December 2024, confirming his ability to adapt to new opponents after more than ten years in the sport. He lost to Amin Ayoub in May 2025, also by decision, his latest documented fight to date.

Fighting Style

A well-rounded fighter, Lebout has built most of his wins on the scorecards, with fourteen decisions against just two stoppages by strikes and eight submissions over fifteen years in the sport. His ground game, inherited from his background in European grappling, remains his most reliable weapon against more explosive opponents, while his striking defense has at times been exposed by powerful strikers such as Staropoli. This consistency has kept him active in demanding organizations alongside French fighters such as Cédric Doumbé and Jordan Zébo on the ARES circuit.
