Pedro Paulo Rocha Record: 9-10-0

Inside the cage

Combat Edge's records capture a pair of recent bouts that illustrate the swings of regional MMA. On April 15, 2023, at Federacao Fight 15, Rocha picked up a second-round TKO over Wesley Otavio, showing the finishing instinct that runs through his career. Three months later, on July 15, 2023, he ran into the other side of the ledger at X1 Kombat 10, where he was submitted by Luis Gustavo via rear-naked choke in the second round. The two results — a stoppage win followed by a submission loss — capture the high-variance reality of a fighter constantly in tough.

Fighting style

Rocha is a finisher by nature, with a strong submission game at the center of his offense: the large majority of his wins have come on the mat, supplemented by knockout power, for a finish rate near 90 percent. That aggression cuts both ways. His losses, too, have largely come inside the distance — several by knockout and others by submission — which points to a fighter who fights at a high pace and accepts risk rather than coasting to decisions. The profile is that of an exciting, submission-oriented featherweight whose chin and defense have been tested at the regional level, with the grappling his clearest strength.

Career highlights

• Seasoned Rio regional veteran — built a nine-win record across promotions including Shooto Brasil, Arena Global, and X1 Kombat.
• Submission-heavy finisher — the majority of his career wins have come by submission, anchoring a finish rate near 90 percent.
• Second-round TKO at Federacao Fight 15 — stopped Wesley Otavio in 2023 to show off his finishing power.
