GrapplingStriking

Brazilian veteran enjoying a late-career surge at 39, with wins over Payton Talbott, Cody Garbrandt, Ricky Simon, and Montel Jackson since the start of 2025. Well-rounded in the classic Brazilian mold — crisp boxing over a jiu-jitsu and wrestling base, with 87 percent takedown defense. The run has pushed him back into the rankings conversation.
