Timmy Cuamba

Overview

Timmy Cuamba's UFC record sits at 3-3, but the last fight is the one that changes the read: two straight wins by finish or decision, then a second-round submission loss, then a second-round submission win to answer it. The Las Vegas-born bantamweight fights out of BK MMA and goes by "Twilight." His UFC record is 3-3, inside an overall professional record of 11-4-0 across all promotions.

He is a .500 fighter on paper who has finished two of his three UFC wins, and every one of those finishes came in round two.

UFC Career

Cuamba's path to the UFC included a stop at Dana White's Contender Series 7.4 in August 2023, where he beat Mateo Vogel by unanimous decision. That fight isn't part of his UFC record.

His UFC debut came in February 2024 and went the wrong way: a split decision loss to Bolaji Oki. Four months later, Lucas Almeida beat him by unanimous decision. Two fights, two trips to the scorecards, two losses.

The turnaround started in April 2025, when he stopped Roberto Romero at 3:55 of round two. He followed it in November with a unanimous decision over ChangHo Lee, an opponent our model rates as strong. That was his longest win streak at two.

Benardo Sopaj ended it in May 2026 with a submission at 2:25 of round two. Cuamba's response was to win the same way: a submission of Louis Jourdain at 2:48 of round two in October 2026.

He carries a one-fight win streak into his next bout.

Fighting Style

Cuamba is a defensive fighter more than a volume one. He throws less than most UFC strikers, but he is hard to hit and doesn't take much damage.

His takedown defense stands out the most. He is very hard to put on the mat. He also shoots for takedowns more often than most, though he rarely hunts for submissions.

That makes his two UFC finishes, one by KO/TKO and one by submission, a bit of a surprise given his low-volume style. Both came in the second round, and it's a small sample.
