Brazilian jiu-jitsu specialist whose UFC run has been rocky at 3-6 inside the promotion, with eight career submission wins. He has not fought since December 2023, and a scheduled return against Islam Dulatov in Abu Dhabi in July 2026 fell through. He is now slotted at welterweight after competing mostly at middleweight.
