Matheus Camilo Record: 11-3-0

UFC run

Camilo's UFC introduction in May 2025 was a tough one: he ran into the experience of Gabe Green, who caught him in a second-round rear-naked choke – the kind of grappling test that had troubled him early in his career. Rather than spiral, he answered emphatically. In November 2025, on the UFC 322 card, Camilo out-pointed dangerous striker Viacheslav Borshchev over three rounds for a unanimous decision, showing maturity and a smart, controlled game plan to earn his first UFC win. He is next scheduled to step up in competition against Nazim Sadykhov, a step that will measure how far the young Brazilian has come.

Fighting style

Camilo is a balanced, finish-capable lightweight whose record reflects real versatility. Of his 10 wins, four have come by knockout, two by submission, and four by decision, for a finish rate around 60 percent – he can hurt opponents on the feet with knees and punches and can hunt for chokes, triangles, and kimuras on the mat, as his Fury FC run showed. The clearest theme in his losses is grappling: all three of his career defeats have come by submission, with two of those armbars early in his career and a rear-naked choke in his UFC debut. That pattern shows a fighter who has improved his ground game dramatically but can still be vulnerable to elite submission specialists who get him to the canvas.
