Biography
Brazilian middleweight from Salvador, fighting out of Cerrado MMA in Brasília under the moniker "The Villain". A Legacy Fighting Alliance regular with appearances at LFA 112, 205, and 212. Roughly 8 of his career wins have come via submission — close to half of all his finishes route through jiu-jitsu.
Going into AFS 1 he was coming off a TKO loss to Claudio Ribeiro at LFA 212 in July 2025. He flew to Armenia as the marquee imported main-event opponent and submitted Gennadiy Makaryan in the third round at Tashir Arena on April 19, 2026, to deliver the night's headline finish.
