Rafael Dias Amazon Bantamweight Contender
Rafael Dias grew up in Manaus, in Brazil’s Amazonas state, and has built a professional mixed martial arts career under the Chute Boxe Diego Lima banner. Standing at 5’4” and competing exclusively at bantamweight in his most recent bouts, Dias has amassed twenty-one wins nine losses and one draw. He has established himself on regional circuits by fighting at least twice in his last six fights in both Brazil North and the broader Brazil scene.
Dia s enters any discussion as the one-hundredth-ranked fighter in Central and South America and is also listed as number two-hundred thirteen in Eurasia. Those standings reflect a pattern of strategic regional campaigning: Dias earns a spot only where he has fought at least two times among his past six outings and has locked in his bantamweight ranking through back-to-back fights in that weight class.
Now twenty-nine years old and carrying a blend of precision striking and grappling grit, Dias remains a fixture in the stacked Brazilian bantamweight landscape. His record, shaped largely on home soil, places him on the cusp of higher-level matchups and highlights the depth of talent that continues to emerge from Amazonian gyms.
