Lucas Rocha

Overview Lucas Rocha has only been submitted once in the UFC, but it's the loss that defines the sample so far. The Brazilian flyweight, nicknamed "Fenomeno," is 1-1 in the UFC and 18-2 as a professional across all promotions. His UFC debut date is April 2024, though the fight list shows his first UFC bout in October 2024. It's a small sample.

UFC Career Rocha's path to the UFC ran through Dana White's Contender Series 7.10, where he stopped Davi Bittencourt by KO/TKO in the second round, 18 seconds in. That fight sits outside the UFC record.

His first UFC outing at UFC Fight Night: Royval vs Taira ended in a second-round submission loss to Clayton Carpenter at 2:12. He answered at UFC Fight Night: Oliveira vs Gamrot, taking a unanimous decision over Stewart Nicoll over three full rounds.

He carries a one-fight win streak into his next bout.

Fighting Style

Lucas Rocha is a busy, accurate striker who is hard to hit cleanly. He puts out a high volume of strikes, lands them at a good rate, and defends well. He takes about as much damage as the typical UFC fighter.

On the mat, he is tough to take down and holds up well when opponents try to shoot. His own takedown attempts are about average, and he rarely goes looking for submissions.

That strong takedown defense sits oddly against his one UFC loss, which came by submission. His UFC win came by decision, so he has not yet finished a fight in the promotion.
