Marcio Alexandre Junior

Overview

Three UFC fights, three losses, and not one of them ended in a knockout.

Marcio Alexandre Junior, who fights under the nickname "Lyoto," is a Brazilian southpaw from Florianópolis with a 17-4-0 professional record across all promotions. His UFC record is 0-3. The gap between those two numbers tells the story: he has won outside the UFC, but the UFC stretch went the other way.

UFC Career

The UFC run came in a short window. On May 30, 2014, at UFC Fight Night: Miocic vs Maldonado, Warlley Alves submitted him in round 3 at 0:25. Seven months later, at UFC Fight Night: Machida vs Dollaway, he lost a split decision to Tim Means after going the full three rounds.

The third loss came on December 11, 2015, at UFC 194: Aldo vs McGregor, where Court McGee took a unanimous decision. That makes two decisions and one submission loss, with no knockouts against him.

Three fights is a small sample, and one of the decisions was split, so it was close on at least one scorecard. Still, he never banked a UFC win.

Away from the UFC, he appeared on Dana White's Contender Series Brazil 1.2 in August 2018 and submitted Leonardo Silva de Oliveira in round 1 at 1:52. That fight is a professional win, but it sits outside his UFC record.

He enters his next fight on a three-fight losing streak.

Notable Wins
