Early career

[edit]

Carneiro began fighting in MMA professionally in 2000 at the age of 22 in his native Brazil. One of his earliest losses was to future longtime UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva. He amassed a record of 10-5 before signing with the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Ultimate Fighting Championship

[edit]

In April 2007, Carneiro debuted with the UFC. He faced Rich Clementi in his debut and won the fight via unanimous decision.

Carneiro then faced Jon Fitch at UFC Fight Night 10. He lost the fight via submission in the second round.

In his third UFC fight, Carneiro faced Tony DeSouza at UFC 79 on 29 December 2007. He won the fight via TKO in the second round.

Carneiro next faced Kevin Burns at UFC 85 on 7 June 2008. He lost the fight via submission in the second round.

For his fifth UFC fight, Carneiro faced Ryo Chonan at UFC 88 on 6 September 2008. He lost the fight via split decision. Following this loss, he was released from his contract.

Battleground MMA

[edit]

After fighting sporadically for independent promotions between 2009 and 2013, Carneiro signed to compete in a one-night, eight-man tournament for BattleGrounds MMA on 3 October 2014.[5] In the quarterfinals, he defeated Randall Wallace by submission in the first round. In the semifinals, he defeated Trey Houston by TKO in the second round. In the finals, Carneiro defeated Brock Larson by unanimous decision to be crowned the tournament champion.

In December 2014, it was announced that Carneiro had been re-signed with the UFC. In his return fight, Carneiro replaced Caio Magalhaes against Mark Muñoz on 28 February 2015 at UFC 184.[6] He won the fight via technical submission from a rear-naked choke in the first round.

Carneiro was expected to face Gegard Mousasi on 27 September 2015 at UFC Fight Night 75.[7] However, Carneiro was forced to pull out of the bout in mid-August with an elbow injury and was replaced by Uriah Hall.[8]

As the last fight of his prevailing contract, Carneiro faced Ryan LaFlare on 11 February 2017 at UFC 208.[13][14] He lost the fight by unanimous decision.[15] UFC elected not to renew Carneiro's contract, making him a free agent.[14]
