Lucas Almeida

Lucas Almeida is a Brazilian mixed martial artist from Sorocaba who competes at featherweight. Born on January 31, 1991, Almeida is listed at 5 feet 11 inches and is associated with MMA Sorocaba. The UFC identifies his fighting style as striking, while his profile also notes black belts in kickboxing, Muay Thai and jiu-jitsu. His approach is built around boxing combinations, pressure and finishing ability, with the single-leg listed as his favorite grappling technique and the knee strike and straight punch among his preferred weapons.

Almeida became Jungle Fight champion before reaching the UFC. He made his UFC debut on June 4, 2022, stopping Michael Trizano by strikes and earning a Fight of the Night bonus. During his UFC run, he also recorded a decision victory over Timmy Cuamba in June 2024. His most recent UFC appearance was a first-round stoppage loss to Michael Aswell Jr. on October 11, 2025. The UFC athlete page currently lists Almeida as “Not Fighting”; a later Sherdog listing records a July 27, 2026 bout outside the UFC, so this biography does not describe him as a current UFC roster member.
