Cesar Almeida

Cesar Almeida, a 36-year-old Brazilian middleweight with a 7-2 professional record, operates as a pure striker from an orthodox stance. Standing 6'1" with a 74-inch reach, Almeida lands 3.46 strikes per minute at 58% accuracy while maintaining solid defensive awareness at 46% strike defense, though he absorbs 2.03 strikes per minute.

He shows virtually no grappling output, averaging zero takedowns per 15 minutes with 0% takedown accuracy, making him a volume-oriented standup fighter. His most notable asset is finishing power, evidenced by a 9.4 knockout score and recent victories including a first-round TKO over Abdul Razak Alhassan in January 2025 and a second-round finish of Dylan Budka in April 2024.

However, Almeida has struggled against top competition, suffering a split-decision loss to Roman Kopylov in June 2024 and a unanimous decision defeat to Cezary Oleksiejczuk in December 2025, though he bounced back with a unanimous decision win over Ihor Potieria in October 2024. His cardio score of 28.9 raises durability concerns in extended fights, particularly against wrestlers or high-output strikers.

Almeida's path forward depends on matchup selection against opponents who engage in his preferred striking range.
