Violent Finisher
Knockout power · Dangerous guard · Scrambles
GrapplingStriking
Brazilian finisher based in Mexico with 24 of his 28 wins by KO or submission. Fights at a reckless pace, equally dangerous with his hands and off his back. Twice came up short against Volkanovski in title fights, but rebounded with a second-round knockout of Steve Garcia in June 2026 to stay at the front of the contender line.
