Profile
Overview
Two UFC wins, both first-round knockouts, and both inside the first four months of his run. Andre Fialho is a Portuguese welterweight out of Sanford MMA, and his UFC record stands at 2-5, with a 16-8 mark across all promotions.
The two wins came back to back in 2022. The four fights since have all been losses.
UFC Career
Fialho debuted in January 2022 with a unanimous decision loss to Michel Pereira at UFC 270. He answered in April with a KO/TKO of Miguel Baeza at 4:39 of round one, then stopped Cameron VanCamp in 2:35 of the first at UFC 274.
Two straight finishes, both in round one. That was the peak.
The next fight, against Jake Matthews at UFC 275, ended in a second-round TKO loss. Our model tags Matthews as a strong opponent, the only fight on his record that carries an opponent-strength tag. Then came a third-round stoppage against Muslim Salikhov, a second-round TKO to Joaquin Buckley, and a third-round TKO to Tim Means in September 2023.
Four of his five losses have ended by KO/TKO. He enters his next fight on a four-fight skid.
Fighting Style
Andre Fialho is a striker who trades. He lands at about the UFC average in volume and accuracy, but he gets hit more than most and defends worse than most.
He is not a grappler. He rarely shoots for takedowns and almost never hunts for submissions. Opponents have a hard time taking him down, though, and he stays on his feet far more often than most fighters.
His finishing pattern is lopsided. Both of his UFC wins came by first-round KO/TKO. Four of his five losses also came by KO/TKO, and he has yet to win a fight on the scorecards. It's a small sample, but it points to a fighter who either lands early or gets caught.
