ALESSANDRO COSTA

Hailing from Brazil, Alessandro Costa competes as an orthodox flyweight. Training out of the MMA Masters gym, he has built a reputation for a well-rounded skillset highlighted by his strong grappling abilities. Costa's steady rise in the division features key victories against respected opponents, establishing him as a legitimate contender in the weight class.

Entering UFC Fight Night: du Plessis vs. Usman with a 6-2-0 record, Costa has won four of his last five matchups. He secured a guillotine choke submission against Ares Solis and a decision over Liam O'Reilly, followed by a TKO of Khalid Kalo. After dropping a split decision to Benson Welling, he rebounded in June 2026 with a rear-naked choke victory over Yasuki Yashiro.
