Profile
Overview
Matheus Camilo hasn't been hit much and hasn't been finished by a strike, yet he sits on a loss as he heads into his next fight. The Brazilian lightweight, nicknamed "Jaguar," is 2-2 in the UFC, with a 11-4-0 professional record across all promotions.
His UFC wins came in contrasting ways: a decision and a first-round knockout. His losses came the same way: a submission and a decision.
Four fights in, the shape of his career is still forming.
UFC Career
Camilo debuted in May 2025 against Gabe Green and lost by submission in round 2 at 3:43. He turned it around at UFC 322, beating Viacheslav Borshchev by unanimous decision.
His best night came in June 2026. He stopped Nazim Sadykhov, an opponent our model rates as strong, by KO/TKO at 1:31 of round 1. It is his only finish in the UFC and his only first-round win.
Then came Jai Herbert in October 2026, a unanimous decision loss over three rounds. Two wins in a row had ended, and he carries a one-fight losing streak forward.
Fighting Style
Matheus Camilo is a hard fighter to hit and a hard one to take down. He avoids strikes well and absorbs fewer than most, but he is not a high-volume striker. His output is on the quieter side, and his accuracy sits around the UFC average.
On the mat, he is difficult to take down, and he does not look for takedowns or submissions himself. When he grapples, he is more likely to be defending than attacking.
His one finish in the UFC came by knockout in the first round. His other win went to the scorecards. Both of his losses show the cost of a low-output approach: one came by decision and one by submission. It's a small sample, so the numbers can still shift.
