André Fialho Mensurado (born April 7, 1994) is a Portuguese mixed martial artist, currently competing in the Welterweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.[4] He is the former UAE Warriors champion and has also competed for the PFL, Bellator and LFA. [5]

Background[edit]

As a teenager, Fialho was interested in football and was also an amateur boxing champion in his native country of Portugal, after being convinced to begin boxing by his father, who was a former boxer and founded his own gym in 2019. [6]

However, after meeting a MMA coach when on holiday in the Algarve, he decided to focus solely on MMA. [7] In 2015 he left for the United States of America in search of his dream, to be a professional MMA fighter.[8]

Mixed martial arts career[edit]

Bellator MMA[edit]

After winning 6 fights on the regional circuit, all by finish, Fialho made his Bellator debut against Manuel Meraz on February 26, 2016 at Bellator 150.[9] He won the fight via TKO in just 29 seconds.[10]

In his sophomore performance on May 14, 2016 at Bellator 154, Fialho faced Rick Reger and won the bout via TKO stoppage in the first round.[11][12]

In his highest profile fight for the promotion, Fialho faced Chidi Njokuani at Bellator 167 on December 3, 2016.[13] He won the fight via knockout just 21 seconds into the first round.[14]

André Fialho faced A.J. Matthews at Bellator 181 on July 14, 2017. After a back-and-forth contest, in which both fighters were able to land significant strikes, hurting their opponent, ultimately Fialho won the bout via split decision.[15]

Fialho was scheduled to face Brennan Ward on October 12, 2018, at Bellator 207.[16] However on September 10, 2018, Ward notified the promotion that he will retire from MMA.[17] Fialho was instead scheduled against Javier Torres.[18] He won the close bout via majority decision.[19]

Professional Fighters League[edit]

André Fialho joined the PFL as a tournament replacement for PFL Season 2018 Middleweight Champion Louis Taylor at PFL 1 on May 9, 2019.[20] As a result, he faced Chris Curtis. Fialho lost the bout via third-round knockout.[21]

Fialho fought Glaico França at PFL 7 on October 11, 2019. He lost the bout via majority decision, but França tested positive for stanozolol and so the bout was overturned to a no contest.[22]

Legacy Fighting Alliance and XMMA[edit]

Fialho faced Antonio dos Santos Jr. at LFA 92 on October 2, 2020. He lost the fight via unanimous decision.[23]

André Fialho fought former UFC fighter James Vick at XMMA 1 on January 30, 2021.[24] Fialho won the fight by second-round technical knockout.[25]

UAE Warriors[edit]

Fialho completed his time with the company with a 3-0 record.[26] He debuted against Sang Hoon Yoo at UAE Warriors 20[27], winning the bout via TKO stoppage 18 seconds into the bout.[28] He would then go on to defeat Lincoln Henrique at UAE Warriors 22 on September 4, 2021, collecting another first round TKO.[29] He would then get booked against UFC vet Stefan Sekulic on October 29, 2021 at UAE Warriors 24.[30] He would win the bout via TKO after dropping Sekulic with an elbow in the clinch and then finishing him on the ground.[31]

Ultimate Fighting Championship[edit]

André Fialho fought Michel Pereira on short notice on January 22, 2022 in his UFC debut at UFC 270.[32] He lost the fight by unanimous decision.[33]

Fialho next faced Miguel Baeza on April 16, 2022 at UFC on ESPN: Luque vs. Muhammad 2.[34] Fialho won the fight via technical knockout in round one.[35] He earned a Performance of the Night bonus for the win.[36]
