Marcos Almeida Veteran Lightweight From Minas Gerais

At age 48 Marcos Almeida has forged a steady presence in Brazil’s regional MMA scene. Fighting out of Tchaco Fight Team in Para de Minas Minas Gerais he stands 5'8" (173 cm) and competes in the lightweight division. Over a career spanning more than thirty fights Almeida has compiled a 16-15-0 record that reflects both resilience and the grind of the regional circuit.

Almeida is currently ranked number 378 in the Central and South America region and also holds spots in the Brazil Brazil Southeast and Minas Gerais sub-regions. He earned those positions by appearing at least twice in each area over his last six bouts and has maintained his lightweight status by fighting in that division in his two most recent contests. Almeida’s journey underscores the balance of experience and durability required to stay relevant outside the spotlight of major promotions.
