Andre Fialho

Portugal

Fourth straight knockout loss
WelterweightUFC
September 23, 2023
Fialho lost to Tim Means via TKO (punches) at 1:15 of Round 3 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
That's the fourth straight knockout loss for Fialho, and this one has the potential to end his time with the company. As has been the case for Andre in virtually all of his other defeats, he had his moments, but his poor cardio and lack of durability were eventually his undoing. In Fialho's defense, it took plenty of massive shots from Means before he finally crumbled. If this indeed the end of the line, the 29-year-old Fialho closes his UFC run with a 2-5 record in seven bouts with the company. On the bright side, he'll walk away with an extra $50,000 after this bout was awarded Fight of the Night honors.

Third straight knockout loss
WelterweightUFC
May 20, 2023
Fialho lost to Joaquin Buckley via KO (head kick) at 4:15 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It's a third straight knockout loss for Fialho and one that would seem to be almost impossible to overcome. Typically known as a reckless striker, Andre took a decidedly different approach here. He sat back and waited for Buckley to make the first move in hopes of countering. While Fialho remained competitive prior to the stoppage, he was on his way to being down two rounds due to the lack of activity. It ended up not mattering. Now 2-4 in his first half-dozen bouts with the UFC, each of Fialho's last five fights (2-3) have ended via knockout.
Booked for May 20

April 18, 2023
Fialho is expected to take on Joaquin Buckley at UFC Vegas 73 on May 20, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Fialho debuted with the company in January of 2022 via a loss to Michael Pereira, but followed that up with two victories. Since then, he has lost two consecutive bouts, so he is looking to turn things around in this fight. His opponent, Buckley, is also looking to bounce back from a two-fight losing streak.
Drops second straight fight by KO
WelterweightUFC
November 19, 2022
Fialho lost to Muslim Salikhov via KO/TKO (kick) at 1:03 of Round 3 at UFC Vegas 65 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Fialho seemed to be getting to his opponent with power and pressure, but all of that changed when he ate a hard combination after breaking from a clinch. Salikhov had his way with Fialho for the next two rounds, sapping his energy with shots to the body until a roundhouse head kick forced the ref to call a standing TKO. Fialho made a splash in the UFC by collecting bonuses via short-notice replacement fights, but an uptick in competition has seen Fialho finished with strikes in his last two contests. While he is a clearly talented boxer, Fialho may need to broaden his game in order to continue enjoying success at this level. He falls to 16-6-0 (1 NC) in professional MMA as a result of the loss.
Looking to bounce back Nov. 19

Fialho will take on Muslim Salikhov at the UFC event on Nov. 19, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Fialho is coming off a loss at UFC 275 when he was knocked out by Jake Matthews. That came after he scored a pair of knockout wins earlier in the year. This will be fifth fight of 2022 against an opponent who is 5-1 over his last six fights.
