Cody Durden’s future remains uncertain after another loss at UFC Vegas 110.

Once a ranked flyweight contender, Cody Durden is now on the worst losing skid of his career.

The 14-fight UFC veteran lost his third fight in a row on Saturday when he took on Allan Nascimento in a catchweight bout (130 lbs).

Durden didn’t get a full camp for UFC Vegas 110, stepping up on a week’s notice as a last-minute replacement against Nascimento.

Coming off back-to-back losses to #1 contender Joshua Van and Jose Ochoa, Durden revealed prior to his fight that he had signed a new four-fight contract.

Durden’s latest UFC contract isn’t off to a great start.

Cody Durden taps out to Allan Nascimento at UFC Vegas 110

Durden fought decently for the first seven minutes of his bout against Nascimento.

In the second round, things started to swing in Nascimento’s favor after stunning Durden with a couple of strikes on the feet.

Durden rushed in for a takedown and on his attempt, Nascimento locked up his arms for an Anaconda choke submission.

Durden tried his best to survive on the ground, but within 20 seconds, the red-faced American was forced to tap out for the fifth submission loss of his career.

Durden is now 1-5 in his last six fights. The 34-year-old didn’t have a losing record in the UFC until tonight.

Allan Nascimento calls out former title challenger Steve Erceg

That’s four-straight wins for Allan Nascimento.

The fighter out of Chute Boxe has yet to enter the flyweight rankings, hoping to get there with a win over a notable name.

In his post-fight interview, Nascimento asked for a fight with one-time title challenger and #11-ranked contender Steve Erceg.

Erceg recently rebounded from a three-fight losing skid with a decision effort over Ode Osbourne in August.
