#2 Harry Webb (5-0)

Lightweight

26 Years Old – Infinite MMA

 

Harry Webb projects as a lightweight with genuine UFC championship-level upside, not simply because of what he’s already achieved, but because of how advanced and scalable his skill set appears at this stage of his career. In a region producing an increasingly strong wave of talent, Webb stands out as someone whose tools look immediately transferable to the very highest levels of the sport.

 

Webb’s development under head coach John Campbell, particularly through a busy and successful amateur career, provided him with a depth of experience that shows clearly in how he fights. Webb fights with composure, discipline, and an understanding of pace that is unusual for a fighter still relatively early in his professional run. Those foundations have allowed his game to translate seamlessly as the level of competition has gradually increased.

 

Technically, Webb is an outstanding striker, and that could even be understating it. Operating from a karate-influenced stance, he uses sharp footwork and constant angle changes to control distance and dictate exchanges. He is exceptionally comfortable moving in and out of range, which allows him to initiate offence on his terms and exit exchanges safely. What elevates him even further is his ability to sustain high volume without sacrificing structure. Webb will frequently chain long, fluid combinations together with purpose, steadily breaking opponents down while also having the capacity to knock them out cold at any moment. That volume creates a cumulative effect where opponents are forced into defensive reactions, disrupted timing, and rushed decision-making.

 

As fights progress, Webb’s pressure compounds, opening up clear opportunities for finishes. Importantly, he carries real power within that output, meaning opponents cannot simply absorb his strikes and survive on durability alone. This combination of pace, precision, and finishing ability is a rare asset.

 

Beyond his striking, Webb’s overall game shows encouraging balance. His grappling, while less frequently showcased, appears fundamentally sound. He understands positional priorities, defends takedowns intelligently, and has demonstrated the ability to work back to his feet when required. There is no sense that he is avoiding grappling exchanges; rather, his striking has often resolved contests before extended ground battles become necessary.

 

Physically and mentally, Webb has already shown traits associated with elite competitors. His conditioning allows him to maintain a demanding pace deep into fights, and his ability to stay technically composed under pressure suggests a fighter comfortable in chaos. Those qualities were most clearly demonstrated in his most recent bout against Kevin Kophamel in a gruelling five-round contest in which Webb maintained output, clarity, and resolve despite significant injury – an experience that only strengthened confidence in his long-term durability and competitiveness.

 

Following that fight, Webb faced a serious medical setback with the development of Bell’s Palsy, an issue that temporarily halted his momentum and forced him to relearn basic facial and speech control. Rather than totally derailing his trajectory, this period has become part of his broader development. Webb has remained engaged, focused on rehabilitation, and committed to returning at full capacity by even turning down opportunities, such as a DWCS call-up in 2025, to prioritise his long-term health and performance.

 

Taken together, Webb profiles as a lightweight with few limitations and considerable upside. His striking sophistication, mental resilience, and professionalism point toward a fighter whose best years are clearly still ahead of him. If he returns as expected, there is every reason to believe that Harry Webb will not only reach the global stage but make a meaningful impact once he gets there.
