CÉSAR ALMEIDA

Hailing from São Paulo, Brazil, middleweight competitor César "Cesinha" Almeida transitioned to mixed martial arts after capturing several championships during a successful kickboxing career. Representing Superfight Team, Rizzo RVT, and Corinthians, the orthodox fighter relies on a striking-heavy stand-up approach in the octagon.

Entering his matchup at UFC Fight Night: Fiziev vs. Torres with a 5-2-0 record, Almeida aims to rebound from a unanimous decision loss to Cezary Oleksiejczuk in December 2025. Before that defeat, he earned a knockout victory over Abdul Razak Alhassan and a decision win against Ihor Potieria. His prior outings featured a split decision defeat to Roman Kopylov and a technical knockout win over Dylan Budka.
