Pedro “Pedrinho”Falcao

Pedro Falcão, known as “Pedrinho,” is a Brazilian mixed martial artist who competed in the UFC’s bantamweight division. Born on July 30, 1992, in Porto Velho, Brazil, he is listed at 5 feet 6 inches and trains with Nova União. Falcão began training at age 10, later developing as a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt with a preference for rear-naked chokes and an aggressive left hook. The UFC identifies him as an orthodox fighter whose professional career began in 2011.

Falcão earned a place on Dana White’s Contender Series in October 2021, where he stopped James Barnes by third-round ground-and-pound. He subsequently joined the UFC and made his Octagon debut on April 6, 2024, against Victor Hugo, accepting the bout on short notice. Falcão’s second UFC appearance came on April 5, 2025, against Victor Henry, who won by unanimous decision. The UFC athlete profile currently lists Falcão as “Not Fighting”; no current UFC contract or team affiliation beyond his Nova União training base is stated here. His documented career is defined by a blend of submission grappling, pressure, and opportunistic striking rather than a traditional collegiate or draft-based athletic pathway.
