Division: Flyweight
Place of birth: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Professional file: 27-5
Streak: Won his last five.
The scoop: What a sweet, sweet homecoming it will be when the flyweight champion headlines his first UFC pay-per-view in his first UFC fight in Brazil. Since his promotional debut in 2017, “The Cannibal” has fought a who’s who of 125-pound talent, defeating Brandon Moreno (twice), Brandon Royval (twice), Alex Perez, Wilson Reis and Manel Kape, to name a few. name just a few. a few, and racked up a stack of performance bonuses along the way. The humble and unassuming Rio native will look to add to those accolades by fending off rising contender Steve Erceg and establishing himself among the great champions of Brazilian MMA.
