Max Gimenis

Max Gimenis is a 31-year-old Brazilian heavyweight with an orthodox stance competing at 256 pounds and holding a 6-2 professional record. As a pure striker, Gimenis lands 3.21 strikes per minute with 42% accuracy while absorbing 9.64 strikes per minute and defending 47% of incoming strikes—metrics that reveal a volume-based approach hampered by defensive inconsistency.

With zero takedown attempts across his career, Gimenis operates exclusively in the striking realm, relying on his 66.0 knockout score to finish fights, though his 8.0 cardio rating suggests stamina concerns in extended exchanges. His recent form has deteriorated significantly, as evidenced by a first-round knockout loss to Josh Hokit on November 8, 2025, where Gimenis was stopped just 56 seconds into the bout.

This setback marked a dramatic decline from his previous performances and raises questions about his ability to compete at the elite heavyweight level. Without an announced next opponent, Gimenis faces a critical juncture in his career where he must address both his striking defense and conditioning to remain viable in the division.
