Allan Begosso Record: 10-5-1

Building under the LFA banner

Begosso announced himself in the LFA in September 2020 with a first-round knockout of the unbeaten Sean McPadden, then submitted Samarbek Sabyrzhan Uulu by first-round guillotine in May 2021. After dropping a decision to undefeated prospect Richard Palencia later that year, he bounced back in spectacular fashion in July 2022, finishing Paris Stanford with a first-round jumping switch knee – the kind of highlight that underlines his knack for ending fights early.

Contender Series test and beyond

That form earned Begosso a coveted slot on Dana White's Contender Series in September 2022, where he ran into another unbeaten wrecking ball in Farid Basharat, dropping a decision in a step up against one of the division's most polished prospects. He answered with a decision win over Cristian Giovannie in August 2023, and a scheduled 2024 LFA bout against Albert Morales – a UFC veteran – pointed to the level of competition Begosso continued to seek out as he pushed toward the sport's top tier.

Fighting style

Begosso is a finisher first and foremost, with a 75% finish rate split evenly between knockouts and submissions – three of his eight wins by KO/TKO and three by submission. His grappling shows real teeth, from heel hooks to guillotines, while his striking carries genuine pop and creativity, as the jumping switch knee finish of Stanford demonstrated. His three career losses have all come by decision, suggesting that when opponents survive his early storms, the deeper, more technical exchanges have occasionally gone against him – a margin he has worked to close at Team Alpha Male.
