Antonio Carlos Junior
Antonio Carlos Junior, known as "Cara de Sapato," competes in the UFC's Middleweight division carrying a professional record of 11-5-0. Across 13 tracked UFC bouts, he has landed 21 takedowns, reflecting a game plan that incorporates the grappling game, while also accumulating 196 significant strikes landed over his octagon tenure.
His three most recent outings have all ended in decision losses. He fell to Ian Heinisch by decision in May 2019, then dropped another unanimous verdict to Uriah Hall in September of that year. Most recently, Carlos Junior lost a decision to Brad Tavares at UFC 257 in January 2021, a card headlined by Poirier vs. McGregor. The back-to-back-to-back decision defeats mark a difficult stretch for the Brazilian middleweight as he looks to find his footing again in a competitive division.
