Profile
Overview
One loss, one win, and the win came on the doctor's say-so. Rodrigo Sezinando is a Brazilian welterweight with a 1-1 UFC record and a 10-2-0 professional record across all promotions. He carries a one-fight win streak into his next fight. It's a small sample, but the career numbers already lean one way: he is a wrestler first.
UFC Career
Sezinando's UFC debut date is August 15, 2025. His first fight in our data came at Noche UFC on September 13, 2025, where Daniil Donchenko stopped him with a KO/TKO at 4:27 of round 1.
He answered at UFC Fight Night: Moicano vs Nolan on October 31, 2026. Against Theodor Berggren, the fight ended by doctor's stoppage at 5:00 of round 2, which counts as his one UFC finish.
One early loss, one stoppage win. The rest is still unwritten.
Fighting Style
Sezinando leans on his wrestling. He shoots for takedowns often and is hard to take down himself, which is the clearest part of his game.
His striking is less polished. He lands less than most, doesn't connect at a high rate, and is easier to hit than the UFC average. Even so, he takes damage at a normal pace. He rarely goes looking for submissions, so his grappling is about control rather than finishing.
His lone UFC win came by TKO in the second round. That's a small sample from two fights, so treat this as a lean, not a verdict.
