Handesson Ferreira Midwest Welterweight Contender

Handesson Ferreira, known inside the cage as “Boy Doido,” is a 37-year-old Brazilian welterweight fighting out of Las Vegas with Team Jorjão. Standing six feet tall and carrying a 20-6-1 professional record, Ferreira has carved out a niche in the North American regional rankings, currently sitting at No. 84 on the continent and earning a spot in the U.S. Midwest sub-region after competing there in at least two of his last six bouts. His recent consistency at 170 pounds underscores a focused bid to climb within a roster of rising talent.

Ferreira’s career arc reflects a veteran presence balancing experience with urgency. Since arriving in Nevada, he has sought out opponents across multiple promotions, maintaining activity and adaptability in a division defined by depth. His ranking across regions where he’s fought twice or more speaks to both his willingness to travel for fights and his steady output inside the cage. At an age when many peers consider winding down, Ferreira continues to push—letting results speak louder than hype.
