Brunno Ferreira

The official result records Shahbazyan's unanimous decision over Ferreira after the full three-round middleweight bout. The judges were required to determine the winner rather than a stoppage deciding the contest. Shahbazyan added the decision win to his record while Ferreira was handed the loss.

Key moments

• Shahbazyan and Ferreira went the distance in their middleweight bout.
• The result was settled on the scorecards rather than by a finish.
• All three official scorecards favored Shahbazyan.

Aliskerov avoided the early exchanges that had the potential to create a chaotic fight. He controlled the pace over the full fifteen minutes. The measured approach kept Ferreira from landing a fight-changing burst and earned Aliskerov the unanimous decision.

Key moments

• Aliskerov did not engage in the early pocket exchanges that could have created chaos.
• Aliskerov managed the pace across all three rounds.
• Ferreira could not create a fight-changing burst, and Aliskerov earned the decision.

Ferreira's margin for error disappeared quickly against Rodrigues, who caught him and finished the fight before round one reached the midpoint. The one-punch knockout at 1:47 was exactly the kind of high-variance outcome Ferreira always invites when he plays in the pocket against another proven finisher.

Key moments

• The fight ended inside two minutes, so Ferreira never had a chance to build back into it.
• Rodrigues landed the decisive shot standing and closed the show immediately.
• It was another reminder that Ferreira's aggression cuts both ways against elite hitters.

The Vettori win mattered because Ferreira did it without the instant finish everyone expects from him. He went the full fifteen minutes and won a unanimous decision, showing he could stay functional in a longer fight and bank rounds against a durable middleweight rather than only surviving on early chaos.

Key moments

• Ferreira won a rare three-round fight instead of ending things in a sudden burst.
• Beating a durable veteran like Vettori over the distance expanded the range of plausible Ferreira wins.
• The unanimous decision suggested cleaner round-winning work than his reputation usually implies.

Ferreira mixed in the grappling side of his finishing game here, tapping McVey with an armbar in the opening round instead of relying on his hands. It was still an early finish, but the method reinforced that opponents have to worry about more than one kind of sudden ending when they engage with him.

Key moments

• The finish came in the first round, so Ferreira still operated inside his preferred fast-start window.
• He closed with an armbar rather than the knockout everyone usually braces for.
• That gave him a second straight 2025 win after the Petrosyan finish.
• The result kept the pressure on his next level-up fights by showing his game had more than one threat.

Ferreira needed more time than usual, but he still found a finish before the fight got away from him, tapping Petrosyan with a triangle armbar late in round two. For a fighter known mostly for raw power, the submission was a useful reminder that scrambles and chaos can still end with him finishing from the mat.

Key moments

• The fight extended into the second round, which forced Ferreira to work longer than many of his quick UFC wins.
• He still found the submission at 4:27 and closed the fight before a decision became necessary.
• The triangle armbar showed real opportunism once the fight got messy on the mat.

After a tactical opening round, Ferreira hurt Magomedov in the second and stunned him again after Magomedov forced a grappling exchange. Magomedov regained control on the mat, then took Ferreira down again in the third and secured an arm-triangle choke at 3:14.

Key moments

• The opening round was tactical before Ferreira increased his offense in the second.
• Ferreira put his offense together in the second and hurt Magomedov.
• Magomedov took the fight to the mat; after Ferreira stunned him again, Magomedov regained control in the scramble.
• Magomedov brought the fight back to the ground in the third and finished with an arm-triangle choke at 3:14.

It was the perfect Ferreira fight in miniature: patient enough to wait for the opening, then suddenly violent once he found it.

Key moments

• The fight stayed live until the closing seconds of round one.
• Ferreira landed the spinning elbow at 4:51 and closed the show immediately after.
• It reinforced why Ferreira remains dangerous even in fights that look relatively measured for most of the round.

Key moments

• The finish came with only five seconds left in round one at 4:55.
• Ferreira ended the fight with a burst of strikes after a competitive start.
• The win put him back in the middleweight column immediately after the July 2023 loss to Ruziboev.
• It restored the idea that Ferreira's power could still flip any close exchange in an instant.

Ferreira entered as the favored side in his second UFC appearance, but Ruziboev punished an early opening and never let him recover. A counter right sent Ferreira into immediate trouble, and the follow-up ground strikes ended the fight just 77 seconds into the opening round.

Key moments

• The fight ended only 1:17 into round one.
• Ruziboev cracked Ferreira with a counter right before the finishing follow-up on the mat.
• The defeat showed how thin his margin for error could be when he rushed straight into another dangerous finisher.

Ferreira announced himself in the UFC by upsetting the heavily favored Rodrigues with one clean counter left late in the first round. Knocking out a proven veteran in his Octagon debut instantly validated the hype around his finishing ability and put the middleweight division on notice.

Key moments

• The knockout came at 4:13 of round one off a single counter left hand.
• It immediately established his UFC identity as a high-risk, high-reward finisher.

• It started a 2022 stretch that carried through Welldon Silva, Adercino de Jesus, and Leon Aliu.

• It gave Ferreira a fourth straight professional win.
• The submission balanced out the image of Ferreira as a pure puncher.

• It was his second straight win after the long gap from his 2019 debut season.
• The result previewed how often Ferreira's regional fights would end before any real attritional phase.

Ferreira closed his first pro year by carrying his power into a second round and stopping Victor Neves Nunes in Katana Fight. The result mattered less for the name value than for the signal that his finishing ability was surviving even when an opponent made it past the opening burst.

• It was Ferreira's third professional win and his second one inside the distance.
• Nunes made him work longer than Carlos Barbieri had two months earlier.
