Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Eduardo started his professional career in 2003. Initially, he fought twice in the Brazilian circuit, becoming inactive in 2005 and 2006. In 2007 he came back, alternating fights in American promotions as Extreme Challenge and Battle Cage Xtreme, and Brazilian promotions as Amazon Fight and Nocaute Fight Combat.

He faced opponents like the then prospect and future UFC champion Jon Jones, and the once Brazilian jiu-jitsu world champion Erick Wanderley.[2][3]

Difficulties and return to MMA

In 2014 , after losing two straight in Bellator, Eduardo was disconnected from the organization and eventually lost his sponsorships.

With this Cachorrão was forced to take a break in his MMA career and returned to give jiu-jitsu classes and also to compete in the gentle art.

After little more than a year, Eduardo back to MMA in the main event of an 1 Round Combat in his hometown and wins by submission in the second round athlete Kleber Silva, Luiz Carlos Dorea pupil.

Return to Shooto Brazil
