Modestino Rodrigues

Overview

A knockout in 15 seconds is a hell of a calling card. Modestino Rodrigues, a Middleweight from Fonte Boa, Brazil, brings an 8-1-0 professional record across all promotions into the UFC, with a debut dated October 24, 2026. He has no UFC fights yet, so that record is built entirely outside the Octagon.

Active, not a champion, and an unknown at the highest level.

UFC Career

There is no UFC fight history yet. The most recent fight on his resume is a Dana White's Contender Series appearance, which is a professional fight but not part of a UFC record. At Dana White's Contender Series 10.4 on September 1, 2026, he beat Brandon Holmes by KO/TKO at 0:15 of the first round.

Fighting Style

The career numbers describe a striker who trades well. He lands at a strong clip and gets hit far less than most UFC fighters, with striking defense to match. His accuracy is around the UFC average, so the output comes from volume and defense, not pinpoint precision.

The other side of the ledger is just as clear. He rarely shoots for takedowns, offers little in the way of submission attempts, and gets taken down more than most. Anyone who gets him to the mat is in a position his stand-up numbers don't protect him from.
