STRENGTHS / WEAKNESSES

+Elite kick speed and striking accuracy that allows him to consistently land damaging strikes before opponents can react

−Average striking defense leaves him vulnerable to consistent flush strikes from high-volume offensive opponents

+Well-rounded defensive fundamentals across striking, takedown and submission defense that make him extremely difficult to finish

−Mediocre takedown offense limits his ability to force grappling exchanges against fighters with strong takedown defense

+Top-tier stamina that lets him maintain high output across three full rounds to secure decision wins

−Below-elite chin durability puts him at risk of being hurt or finished if caught clean by heavy power punchers

MATCHUPS

BESTSlow, one-dimensional power striker with limited grappling skill, as Barcelos can outpace them with fast, accurate kicks and outpoint them over three rounds without risking being finished or taken down

HARDHigh-volume pressure striker with strong takedown defense, who can overwhelm his mediocre striking defense to land consistent flush strikes and negate his ability to control range with kicks

Combat Profile

Raoni Barcelos is a seasoned Brazilian grappler fighting out of American Top Team, possessing a black belt in BJJ that makes him a constant threat on the mat. He has evolved into a well-rounded fighter by adding crisp boxing and nasty low kicks to his arsenal, though his ground game remains his sharpest weapon. Despite recent setbacks against top-tier competition, his durability and pace allow him to stay competitive in deep waters, often pushing a frantic tempo that wears down his adversaries.

Tactical Advantage

Barcelos exploits opponents who struggle with scramble-heavy grappling sequences, as his chain wrestling and submission awareness are elite for the division. He prefers dragging the fight into later rounds where his gas tank and grappling stamina overwhelm tired fighters, looking for chokes or positional dominance. Strikers with weak takedown defense are his ideal targets, as he can close the distance smoothly and neutralize their offense, though he sometimes struggles against high-level wrestlers who can keep him standing.
