The Spartan
Elias Theodorou
Career overview
Elias "The Spartan" Theodorou holds a professional record of 16-3-0 and competes at middleweight as an orthodox fighter standing 6'1" with a 75-inch reach. A volume striker by trade, Theodorou lands 4.19 strikes per minute with 42% accuracy while maintaining solid defensive fundamentals at 53% strike defense, absorbing just 2.39 strikes per minute.
His grappling remains supplementary—he averages 1.27 takedowns per 15 minutes at 28% accuracy but defends takedowns at a respectable 59% rate. Theodorou has built his recent record on consistent decision victories, including unanimous wins over Daniel Kelly (November 2017), Trevor Smith (May 2018), and Cezar Ferreira (February 2017), though he suffered a setback against Derek Brunson via unanimous decision in May 2019.
His most notable finish came against Roger Narvaez in March 2015, a second-round KO/TKO that showcased his striking potential. With six wins in his last eight fights, Theodorou remains a durable middleweight contributor reliant on point-fighting and cardio rather than submission threats or knockout power.
