Eduardo Chapolin
Career overview
Eduardo Chapolin is a 15-3-0 Brazilian flyweight who fights from an orthodox stance. His career averages show a balanced approach built around steady striking and effective wrestling rather than one-dimensional offense.
Chapolin lands 3.46 significant strikes per minute, giving him enough output to compete consistently on the feet without profiling as an extreme volume striker. His stronger statistical edge comes in grappling exchanges, where he converts 60% of his takedown attempts and maintains an 84% takedown defense rate.
Those numbers suggest he can dictate where fights take place, either using takedowns to establish control or keeping the action standing against opponents who prefer to wrestle. His recent results have also demonstrated his ability to perform across three-round contests, although they reveal some vulnerability late in fights.
In September 2025, Chapolin defeated An Tuan Ho by unanimous decision after completing all three rounds. He then faced Charles Johnson in August 2026 and suffered a third-round submission loss at 2:36, ending his recent momentum after another competitive fight reached the final period.
With no recorded submission offense in his career averages and no knockout-finishing score, his success is more closely tied to positional wrestling, defensive discipline, and sustained scoring than sudden finishes. Chapolin currently remains an unranked flyweight seeking to rebound from the Johnson loss.
