Ryan Gandra

Ryan "Problema" Gandra is a 9-1 Brazilian middleweight fighting out of an orthodox stance who has established himself as a devastating striker with knockout power. Averaging 13.02 strikes landed per minute at 50% accuracy, Gandra operates as a pure volume striker with elite defensive instincts, posting an 81% striking defense rate while absorbing just 1.70 strikes per minute.

His grappling remains a non-factor in his arsenal, with zero takedown attempts and a perfect 100% takedown defense across his career. What truly distinguishes Gandra is his finishing ability, evidenced by a 55.7 knockout score that reflects his capacity to end fights explosively.

Recent performances underscore this lethality: he dispatched Trent Miller via first-round KO at 1:51 on August 26, 2025, then followed with an even more impressive 41-second knockout of Jose Daniel Medina on February 28, 2026. These consecutive early finishes demonstrate Gandra's ability to read opponents and capitalize on openings with devastating precision.

With a modest 8.0 cardio score, his reliance on quick finishes rather than distance fighting aligns with his fighting profile. At 6'1" with a 74-inch reach, Gandra leverages his physical tools effectively against middleweight competition, positioning himself as a legitimate contender in a division hungry for knockout artists.
