Rafael "Bipolar" Tobias is a 23-year-old Brazilian from Curitiba who earned his UFC contract by choking out Jair de Oliveira on Dana White's Contender Series in 2025. His nickname comes from the switch his coaches noticed between his calm everyday demeanor and his ferocity once the cage door closes. Eleven of his fourteen wins are finishes, with nine coming in the first round, and his six submissions mark him as one of the division's more dangerous young grapplers. He dropped a decision to Diyar Nurgozhay in his UFC debut in March and is hunting his first official Octagon win.
