Eduardo Souza São Paulo’s Maquina Da Dor

Eduardo Souza occupies a singular role in Brazil’s MMA landscape. At 39 years old and standing 5 feet 7 inches tall, he represents Alcateia MMA out of São Paulo. Souza’s 20-6-1 record is a testament to his consistency and endurance inside the cage. Known as Máquina da Dor, he has leaned into the welterweight division over his last two fights, blending technical grappling with a measured striking game that belies his age. Souza currently sits at No. 18 in the Central and South America regional rankings and holds the same welterweight spot in both Brazil and Brazil Southeast sub-regions. Those standings reflect the fact that at least two of his last six appearances have taken place on home soil, where he has secured the bulk of his career victories. As he continues to fight in the weight class, Souza’s ranking underscores a fighter who has carved out his place in one of the sport’s most competitive territories.
