Antonio Trócoli bio
Personal background
Antonio Trócoli is a Brazilian middleweight competing in the UFC under the nickname “Malvado.” Born on December 6, 1990, in Salvador, Bahia, he is a towering presence for the division at 6'5" with a 79-inch reach — physical dimensions that have defined how he fights. Trócoli came up through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, earning his black belt, and built an orthodox, length-based game around calculated aggression and a deep submission arsenal. He trains out of LG System and, unusually for a fighter, maintains a serious second pursuit as a tournament poker player. Across a 17-fight pro career he has compiled a 12-7 record, with his frame and grappling forming the core of his identity in the cage.
Path to the UFC
Trócoli debuted in 2013 and tore through the Brazilian regional scene early, opening his career with five straight wins — four by submission — across promotions like Imperium MMA and Full House Battle Home, leaning heavily on arm-triangle and anaconda chokes. His first real test came in December 2015, when he outpointed the experienced 24-9 Wendell Oliveira over three rounds. The level then rose sharply: back-to-back decision losses in Legacy FC to Jacob Volkmann and Dhiego Lima in 2016 exposed the gap to higher competition. He kept grinding, and in July 2019 he appeared on Dana White's Contender Series against unbeaten Kenneth Bergh — a result that was ultimately overturned to a no contest, delaying his promotion to the sport's top stage.
UFC run
By the time Trócoli reached the UFC, he was matched against a brutal slate of rising prospects. In June 2024 he faced the unbeaten 12-0 Shara Magomedov and was stopped by knee and punches in the third round. That November, Tresean Gore caught him in a first-round standing guillotine. The pattern continued at UFC 323 in December 2025, where unbeaten prospect Mansur Abdul-Malik submitted him with a first-round guillotine. In March 2026 he dropped a three-round unanimous decision to Mantas Kondratavičius, leaving him searching for his first Octagon win against a run of dangerous, surging opponents.
Fighting style
Trócoli is built around his length and his grappling. Five of his 12 wins have come by submission and three by knockout, a 67% finish rate that reflects an offense-minded fighter who uses his reach to set up chokes and his height to create angles. His jiu-jitsu base is genuine and his regional run was full of slick finishes. The UFC, however, has been unforgiving: three of his four Octagon losses have come in the first round, two of them to guillotines, pointing to vulnerabilities in scramble exchanges and front-headlock defense against elite competition. The tools are real, but the margin for error at the sport's highest level has proven slim.
Career highlights
- Five-fight finishing streak to open his career — debuted with five straight wins, four by submission, establishing his jiu-jitsu pedigree on the Brazilian scene.
- Decision win over veteran Wendell Oliveira — outpointed a seasoned 24-9 opponent in 2015, his most notable regional result.
- 67% career finish rate — five submissions and three knockouts across 12 wins, built on a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt and a 79-inch reach.
