Taps out late in UFC 308 loss
MiddleweightUFC
October 26, 2024
Ferreira lost to Abus Magomedov via submission (arm-triangle choke) at 3:14 of Round 3 at UFC 308 on Saturday in Abu Dhabi.
ANALYSIS
It was a fight that played out how many expected. Ferreira stood around for about a round and did nothing. He finally let his hands go in Round 2 and had plenty of success. Yet, as has been the case in the past, he was unable to defend a takedown in a key spot. He allowed Magomedov to land 4-of-8 attempts overall, including two in the final frame, the second of which put him in position to be forced to tap out. Ferreira's power is legitimate, but the secondary skills are lacking, and the cardio isn't great. He falls to 3-2 in his first five UFC bouts.

Ferreira will not fight Roman Kopylov at UFC Vegas 96, according to Guilherme Cruz of MMAFighting.com.

Ferreira will fight Roman Kopylov at UFC Vegas 96 on August 24, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Ferreira is now set for his second fight of the summer after knocking out Dustin Stoltzfus earlier in June. The Brazilian middleweight currently sports a 4-1 record in the UFC and takes on Kopylov, who is 1-1 in 2024 though he's also coming off a June win.
Scores another first-round KO
MiddleweightUFC
June 8, 2024
Ferreira defeated Dustin Stoltzfus via KO (elbow) at 4:51 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Louisville, Kentucky.
ANALYSIS
On a card with multiple impressive finishes, this one takes the cake. Ferreira wasn't doing all that well when this fight was contested at a fairly normal pace, but once things turned into an all-out brawl late, he excelled. The finish was a wild spinning elbow which smashed Stoltzfus in the face and forced referee Jason Herzog to step in. Brunno's power is ridiculous, but it's fair to wonder how his cardio will hold up in the later rounds. We have yet to find out, as each of his first four UFC bouts (3-1) have ended via first-round knockout. This particular one would go on to earn him a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus, one of four awarded on the evening.
Facing Stoltzfus in June
MiddleweightUFC
April 4, 2024
Ferreira will face Dustin Stoltzfus in a middleweight contest at the UFC event scheduled for June 8, per Combat Sports Today.
ANALYSIS
Ferreira will get back into the Octagon for the first time since a first round knockout victory over Phil Hawes in January. The victory over Hawes was a nice bounceback for the five-foot-10 Brazilian following his knockout loss at the hands of Nursulton Ruziboev last July. Stoltzfus is also coming off a victory, taking out Punahele Soriano via submission in December.
