Marcio Barbosa
Career overview
Marcio “Ticoto” Barbosa, who owns a 19-2-0 professional record, is an unranked Brazilian featherweight who fights from the orthodox stance. Barbosa profiles as an aggressive volume striker, landing 7.01 significant strikes per minute while averaging no takedowns or submission attempts.
His 47% striking accuracy and elevated output allow him to create consistent finishing opportunities, although his 6.65 significant strikes absorbed per minute indicates that his offense often comes with substantial defensive exposure. He has nevertheless maintained a 100% takedown defense rate, keeping opponents from redirecting exchanges to the ground.
Barbosa’s recent results underline his power and fast-starting approach, with all three listed victories coming by first-round KO or TKO. He stopped Damon Wilson at 4:14 of the opening round in August 2025, then finished Dennis Buzukja in 2:20 in April 2026.
Four months later, he recorded another first-round stoppage against Ryan Kuse, ending that contest at 2:47. Those performances produced a 3-0 run across his available recent fight history and reinforced his identity as a high-output featherweight finisher who prefers sustained striking exchanges over grappling sequences.
With no next opponent currently listed, Barbosa remains an unranked contender seeking to convert his knockout streak into upward movement in the featherweight division.
