Will take on Ode Osbourne
Filho will face Ode Osbourne in a flyweight bout at a UFC event on March 16, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Filho has gone just 1-1 at the UFC level, losing in his debut against Muhammad Mokaev and topping Daniel Barez the last time out. His pro record is a far more respectable 15-3-0, however, and at least on paper, he should be the odds-on favorite against a struggling opponent such as Osbourne.

Picks up win in London opener
Filho defeated Daniel Barez via submission (arm-triangle choke) at 3:26 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in London.
ANALYSIS
Filho didn't show much in a submission loss to rising star Muhammad Mokaev in his company debut this past March, but he was much better here against a more reasonable opponent. Known for his ground game, Filho was able to drag Barez to the mat following a wild striking exchange and easily improved his position to the point he was able to score the stoppage. Still just 30 years of age, Filho is worth keeping an eye on in a flyweight division that needs all the depth it can find.

Taking on Barez in London
Filho is scheduled to face Daniel Barez in a flyweight fight at the UFC's July 22 event in London, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Filho had initially committed to a bout with Juancamilo Ronderos on July 15 in Las Vegas, but the promotion opted to push his next fight back a week to a different card versus a different opponent. The 30-year-old Brazilian will head to London looking to avenge a loss to Muhammad Mokaev in March, which ended a five-fight winning streak.

Set to fight Ronderos
Filho agreed to face Juancamilo Ronderos in a flyweight bout at UFC's July 15 event, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Filho delivered a strong performance in his UFC debut against Muhammad Mokaev in March but still lost via submission (rear-naked choke) late in Round 3. Ronderos is 0-2 in the promotion and is coming off a defeat to Clayton Carpenter in February.

Nearly pulls huge upset
Filho lost to Muhammad Mokaev via submission (rear-naked choke) at 4:32 of Round 3 at UFC 286 on Saturday in London.
ANALYSIS
The largest underdog on the entire 15-fight card at +575, Filho almost pulled a huge upset in his official UFC debut. He struggled with the elite grappling game of Mokaev all night long, as expected, but was able to clamp on a vicious leg lock midway through Round 3. Mokaev was in visible pain throughout, but somehow managed to pull through, and Filho found himself tapping out to a rear-naked choke not long after. It won't make the Brazilian feel any better, but he deserves credit for a strong effort here against a tough opponent in a hostile environment.
