FELIPE MALZAC FRANCO

Originally from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Felipe Malzac Franco started his sports career as a professional water polo player. Throughout his time as an athlete, he competed for his nation on the international circuit, most notably helping the Brazilian men's team secure a silver medal during the 2007 Pan American Games. However, there is no evidence that he has ever competed in professional mixed martial arts.

Franco is currently set to make his debut at UFC Fight Night: Hernandez vs. Rodrigues. Because he has never fought professionally before, he enters the octagon with a clean record of zero wins and zero losses.
