Mixed martial arts career
Early career
Medeiros began his career 4–0 before defeating EliteXC veteran Po'ai Suganuma at Destiny MMA: Pier Fighter 1. After winning two more fights to bring his record to 7–0, fighting as a Light Heavyweight, he then signed with Strikeforce.
Medeiros was expected to face John Salter at Strikeforce Challengers: Woodley vs. Saffiedine.[5] However, Medeiros was forced from the bout with an injury.[6]
Ultimate Fighting Championship
On January 31, 2013, it was announced that Medeiros would be brought over to the Ultimate Fighting Championship as part of the Strikeforce transition.
He dropped two weight classes to Lightweight and made his UFC debut against Rustam Khabilov on April 27, 2013, at UFC 159.[7] The fight ended in unusual fashion as Medeiros dislocated his thumb during a takedown by Khabilov early in the first round, resulting in a TKO victory for Khabilov as Medeiros was unable to continue.
Medeiros took on Yves Edwards at UFC Fight For The Troops 3 on November 6, 2013.[8] He won by KO in the first round. The win, however, was subsequently overturned when Medeiros tested positive for marijuana in his post-fight drug test.[9]
Medeiros was expected to face promotional newcomer Joe Ellenberger on April 26, 2014, at UFC 172.[10] However, in the week leading up to the event, Medeiros was pulled from the Ellenberger bout in favor of a match up on the main card with Jim Miller after his scheduled opponent Bobby Green pulled out of the bout.[11] Medeiros lost the fight via submission in the first round.
Medeiros was expected to face Justin Edwards on August 30, 2014, at UFC 177.[12] However, Edwards pulled out of the event in the days leading up to the event citing an injury. Medeiros instead faced promotional newcomer Damon Jackson.[13][14] Medeiros won the fight by submission in the second round. The win also earned Medeiros his first Performance of the Night bonus award.[15]
Medeiros faced Joe Proctor on December 12, 2014, at The Ultimate Fighter 20 Finale.[16] Medeiros won the fight in the first round after dropping Proctor with a spinning back kick to the body and securing a guillotine choke to earn the submission. The result also earned Medeiros a Performance of the Night bonus.[17]
Medeiros was expected to face Tony Ferguson on February 28, 2015, at UFC 184.[18] However, Medeiros pulled out of the bout citing injury and was replaced by Gleison Tibau.[19]
Medeiros next faced Francisco Trinaldo on May 14, 2016, at UFC 198.[24] He lost the fight via unanimous decision.[25] Both participants were awarded Fight of the Night honors.[26]
Move up to welterweight
Medeiros faced Sean Spencer in a welterweight bout on September 10, 2016, at UFC 203.[27] He won the fight via submission in the second round and was awarded a Performance of the Night bonus.[28][29]
Medeiros was expected to face Li Jingliang on January 28, 2017, at UFC on Fox 23.[30] However, in early January, Medeiros pulled out for undisclosed reasons and was replaced by promotional newcomer Bobby Nash.[31]
Medeiros faced Erick Silva on June 3, 2017, at UFC 212.[32] He won the fight via TKO in the second round.[33]
Medeiros faced Alex Oliveira on December 2, 2017, at UFC 218.[34] He won the back-and-forth fight via TKO in the third round.[35] The win also earned him his second Fight of the Night bonus award.[36]
Medeiros was expected to face Mike Perry on July 7, 2018, at UFC 226.[39] However, Medeiros pulled out of the fight on June 27 citing a rib injury and was replaced by Paul Felder.[40]
Replacing injured Nikolas Motta, Medeiros was scheduled to fight Damir Hadžović on May 22, 2021, at UFC Fight Night: Font vs. Garbrandt.[45] However, the bout was pulled from the card just hours before taking place due to health issues with Hadžović.[46] The pairing was rescheduled on June 26, 2021, at UFC Fight Night 190.[47] He lost the fight via unanimous decision.[48] Subsequently, he tested positive for marijuana and was suspended for four-and-a-half months by NSAC, making him eligible to return to competition on November 9, 2021.[49]
In August 2021, Medeiros was released from UFC.[50]
Medeiros faced Charlie Leary on April 22, 2023, at Bellator 295.[53] Even though he was dropped in the bout, Medeiros dropped Leary and after a barrage of punches, submitted him via rear-naked choke at the end of the first round.[54] It was later announced that the victory was overturned to a no contest after Medeiros tested positive for a banned substance.[55]
Personal life
Medeiros started off his career fighting at light heavyweight. He then moved down to middleweight and eventually made his lightweight debut at UFC 159. Medeiros credits Nick Diaz and Nate Diaz for changing his diet and work ethic which allowed him to lose weight and move down in weight classes.[56]
