Brazilian Veteran Gilberto Dias Juggles Two Divisions

At 41 years old Gilberto Dias still steps into the cage with the quiet assurance of a seasoned regional stalwart. The fighter known as Cangaceiro represents Constrictor Team in Brasilia Federal District, standing five feet five inches tall and carrying a career record of 28 wins, eight losses and two draws. Across more than a decade in the sport Dias has blended wrestling base and striking fundamentals into a style both unflashy and effective. Dias is ranked 164th in the Central South America region and holds additional placings in Brazil Southeast and Brazil Central West, reflecting at least two fights in each of those territories over his last six outings. Though officially listed at flyweight he has tested bantamweight in multiple recent showdowns, earning regional recognition in both divisions. What endures beyond the numbers is Dias’s refusal to cede ground. He appears only where he has built his reputation—regions that know him well and still count him among their top prospects. At an age when most competitors have moved on he is chasing the same goal he set out for years ago: one more run, one more victory to underscore a career built on persistence rather than flash.
