Patricio Pitbull

Overview

Thirty-eight professional wins, but his UFC record reads 2-2, and the one finish in it came in his most recent fight.

Patricio Pitbull is a Brazilian featherweight from Mossoró who fights out of Pitbull Brothers. His 38-9 professional record covers every promotion he has fought in, not just the UFC. In the UFC he is 2-2, with a first-round TKO and a decision win. Both losses went the distance.

He enters the next fight on a one-fight win streak.

UFC Career

Pitbull debuted at UFC 314 on April 12, 2025, against Yair Rodriguez and lost a unanimous decision over three rounds. He got his first UFC win at UFC 318 that July, taking a unanimous decision over Dan Ige, an opponent our model rates as strong.

Then came a loss at UFC 327 in April 2026, another unanimous decision, this time to Aaron Pico. He answered at UFC 331, stopping Dooho Choi at 3:28 of the first round.

Three of his four UFC fights went the full fifteen minutes. The fourth ended before the first round was half over.

Fighting Style

Patricio Pitbull lands strikes at a pace and accuracy about in line with the UFC average, and he is harder to hit than most. He still takes more strikes per minute than most, so his defense does not erase the damage that gets through.

The grappling side stands out more. He is very hard to take down, yet he rarely shoots for takedowns himself and does little to hunt for submissions. He is a fighter who stays upright and makes opponents work to put him on the mat, not one who pushes the grappling.

His one UFC finish is a first-round TKO, out of two wins. The other win came by decision, so the finishing sample is small.
