Timmy Cuamba bio
Personal background
Timmy Cuamba is an American featherweight competing in the UFC, a Las Vegas native with a 10-4 record who fights under the nickname "Twilight Timmy." Born Timothy Angel Cuamba on February 8, 1999, in Las Vegas, Nevada, he was immersed in combat sports from childhood, beginning training at age eight and taking his first kickboxing bout at just ten years old. That early start gave him a long runway to develop the polished, rangy striking that defines his game today. The 5'8" featherweight carries an unusually long 71" reach for the weight class and trains out of the renowned Xtreme Couture gym in Las Vegas, a program with a deep lineage of high-level mixed martial artists.
Path to the UFC
Cuamba turned professional in 2020 and built his record across regional promotions including CFFC, where he opened his career with a run of wins, even crossing over for a professional boxing bout along the way. His climb included an early submission loss that he answered with a rebuilding streak of decisions and stoppages. The defining moment came in August 2023, when he won on Dana White's Contender Series with a unanimous decision over Mateo Vogel. He did not receive an immediate contract, but the UFC came calling soon after, and Cuamba made his Octagon debut in February 2024.
Inside the Octagon
Cuamba's UFC tenure began with a difficult stretch against tough competition. He debuted in February 2024 against Bolaji Oki and dropped a closely contested split decision, then lost a unanimous decision to the experienced Lucas Almeida in June 2024. Facing a must-win situation, he delivered the highlight of his career in April 2025, stopping Roberto Romero with a spectacular second-round flying knee and follow-up punches. He carried that momentum into November 2025, outpointing the previously dangerous Chang Ho Lee over three rounds for a unanimous decision. His most recent outing in May 2026 was a setback, as Benardo Sopaj caught him with a second-round rear-naked choke – only the second submission loss of his career.
Fighting style
Cuamba is a striker at heart, with all five of his KO/TKO wins coming on the feet and his length and footwork allowing him to fight at range and pick opponents apart. His finishing tools turn flashy when the opening appears, as the flying-knee stoppage of Romero showed, and he is equally comfortable banking rounds with volume, reflected in a record where exactly half of his wins come by decision. The clearest vulnerability is on the mat: both of his career losses by finish, including the Sopaj defeat, have come by rear-naked choke, signaling that grappling exchanges and scrambles remain the area opponents will look to exploit against him.
Career highlights
- Flying-knee finish of Romero — stopped Roberto Romero by second-round TKO in April 2025, his most spectacular UFC moment and a momentum-turning win.
- Decision over Chang Ho Lee — out-pointed the once-touted Chang Ho Lee over three rounds in November 2025 to build his first UFC win streak.
- Contender Series pedigree — earned his shot with a 2023 Contender Series decision win and reached the UFC after starting combat sports at age eight in Las Vegas.
