Andre Miranda
33 | 6’2” | Salvador, Bahia, Brazil | 7-2 | 6 Finishes | 5 KO/TKOs, 1 Submission (Guillotine) | Combined Opponents’ Record: 33-23-1 | Best Win – João Zaiden (9-2)
Andre Miranda started off his career at 0-2 but has hit his stride and won his next seven fights. In his most recent bout, Miranda won the Mr. Cage Interim Heavyweight championship and before that the Jungle Fights heavyweight title. He is approaching his mid-30s (currently 33) but Miranda doesn’t have a lot of fighting years on him, so he is still relatively fresh in his career. Not to mention the heavyweight division is generally the oldest in MMA. He has a submission win on his record but is a striker at heart.
Miranda utilizes a lot of feints/twitches to keep his opponents guessing. “Monstro” has solid hand speed, often firing right down the middle. He also throws some heavy kicks mixing it up well. He tends to get drawn into brawls and he’s just relentless with his hands.
One of Miranda’s two losses to start his career came against future UFC fighter Carlos Felipe.
