Gabriel 'Marretinha' Bonfim is a Brazilian submission specialist and the UFC's No. 5-ranked welterweight, with 13 career tap-outs, most of them front chokes, and only three of 20 wins reaching the scorecards. His lone loss is a 2023 knockout to Nicolas Dalby, and he has since run off five straight wins, most recently a decision over former champion Belal Muhammad in June 2026. He now meets the division's No. 6-ranked Sean Brady in a fight with the winner squarely in the welterweight title picture.
