GrapplingStriking
Brazilian jiu-jitsu ace from Ceara who dropped his first two UFC bouts on short notice, then won back-to-back fights over Yizha and Jack Jenkins. Five of his twelve wins have come by rear-naked choke, and he pairs the grappling with a heavy takedown rate. He has not fought since February 2025.
