GrapplingStriking
Brazilian featherweight out of The Fighting Nerds who won the featherweight bracket on The Ultimate Fighter 32 in 2024. He is a long, patient kickboxer with a 72-inch reach who spreads his strikes between head, body and legs and defends well rather than chasing volume. He is 4-0 in the UFC and picked up his first promotional stoppage against Muhammad Naimov at UFC 323 in December 2025.
