Boxing career
editSimultaneous to becoming a mixed martial artist fighter, Maldonado also competed professionally as a boxer in his native Brazil, making his professional boxing debut in April 2002, after an amateur career of 40-5 with 27 knockouts.[7][8] After his release from the UFC, Maldonado returned to professional boxing. He won his return fight with a round 1 TKO over Robson Bambu.[9] Within less than a month, he proceeded to knock out Alessandro Bernardo in the first round with one punch.[10]
Mixed martial arts career
editEarly career
editMaldonado made his professional mixed martial arts debut in September 2000 and also began training in Brazilian jiu-jitsu the same year.[11] During the first eight years of his career, he competed exclusively in his native Brazil, and made his North American debut in November 2008.[citation needed]
In the decade previous to his debut with the Ultimate Fighting Championship, Maldonado compiled a record of 17-3. Notable victories from this period include Vitor Miranda and two TKO victories over Maiquel Falcão.[citation needed]
Ultimate Fighting Championship
editMaldonado made his UFC debut at UFC 120 against James McSweeney and won by TKO after 48 seconds of round 3.[12]
Maldonado lost to Kyle Kingsbury via unanimous decision on 4 June 2011 at The Ultimate Fighter 13 Finale.[13] Despite the loss, Maldonado won the Fight of the Night bonus.[14]
Maldonado was expected to face Aaron Rosa at UFC Live: Cruz vs. Johnson.[15] but he was forced to pull out of the bout due to an injury.[16]
Maldonado was expected to face UFC newcomer Caio Magalhaes on 14 January 2012 at UFC 142, but had to pull out from this bout due to a rib injury.[17]
For his third UFC fight, Maldonado faced Igor Pokrajac on 15 May 2012 at UFC on Fuel TV: The Korean Zombie vs. Poirier.[18] Even though Maldonado rocked Pokrajac on several occasions, he lost the back-and-forth fight via unanimous decision.
Maldonado was expected to face UFC newcomer Jorgen Kruth at UFC on Fuel TV 5.[19] However, Kruth abruptly retired from MMA and Maldonado was briefly linked to a bout with Cyrille Diabate on 17 November 2012 at UFC 154.[20] However, Maldonado stepped up and faced Glover Teixeira on 13 October 2012 at UFC 153, replacing an injured Quinton Jackson.[21] Maldonado absorbed a tremendous amount of punishment on the ground, which was so brutal it earned "Beatdown of the Year" honors from Sherdog.com. Maldonado ultimately lost the fight at the end of the second round, when the doctor deemed him unable to continue.
Maldonado faced Roger Hollett on 18 May 2013 at UFC on FX 8.[22] He won the fight via unanimous decision.
Maldonado next faced Joey Beltran on 9 October 2013 at UFC Fight Night 29.[23] He won the back-and-forth fight via split decision.
Maldonado faced Gian Villante on 23 March 2014 at UFC Fight Night 38.[24] After losing the first round to Villante, Maldonado rallied back to win the next two rounds utilizing his boxing and won the bout via unanimous decision (29–27, 29–28, and 29–28).
Maldonado faced Stipe Miocic in a heavyweight bout on 31 May 2014 at The Ultimate Fighter Brazil 3 Finale, replacing Junior dos Santos.[25][26] He lost the fight by TKO due to punches early in the first round.[27]
Maldonado faced Hans Stringer on 25 October 2014 at UFC 179.[28] He won the fight via TKO in the second round. The win also earned Maldonado his first Performance of the Night bonus award.[29]
Maldonado was expected to face returning veteran Quinton Jackson on 25 April 2015 at UFC 186.[30] However, on 7 April Jackson was removed from the card after his most recent employer, Bellator MMA, was granted an injunction by a New Jersey Superior Court judge preventing him from competing for the UFC after it was alleged that he breached a deal signed in June 2013.[31] On 21 April a judge in the Superior Court of New Jersey's Appellate Division overturned the injunction against Jackson, allowing him to compete for the UFC. The bout took place at a catchweight of 215 lbs.[32] Maldonado lost the fight by unanimous decision.[33]
Maldonado was expected to face Tom Lawlor on 7 November 2015 at UFC Fight Night 77.[34] However, Lawlor was forced from the bout with injury and replaced by Corey Anderson.[35] He lost the one sided fight by unanimous decision and was subsequently released from the promotion.[36][37]
Fight Nights Global
editMaldonado made his Fight Nights Global debut facing Pride and Strikeforce vet Fedor Emelianenko on 17 June 2016 at "Fight Nights Global 50" competing for a regional promotion in Russia. Despite dropping and nearly finishing Emelianenko on multiple occasions in the first round, Emelianenko rallied over the last two rounds and was awarded a controversial majority decision victory.[38] 4 of 5 media outlets scored the bout a draw.[39] All three judges being appointed by the Russian MMA Union was seen as a conflict of interest.[40] In turn, in mid-July, the World MMA Association (WMMAA) said they declared the fight a draw.[41] However, the official result will not be overturned.
In the second fight for the promotion, he faced Mikhail Mokhnatkin at Fight Nights Global 52 on 1 October 2016. He lost the fight via unanimous decision.
