==Mixed martial arts career==

===Early career===
Sandro made his professional [[mixed martial arts|MMA]] debut in November 2004. He fought primarily in his native Brazil, amassing an undefeated streak of 12–0 before debuting for the World Victory Road Presents: Sengoku promotion.

===Sengoku===
Sandro participated in [[World Victory Road]]'s Sengoku Featherweight Championship Tournament, losing by a "must decide" decision in the semi-finals to [[judo]] specialist and former [[Ultimate Fighting Championship|UFC]] veteran [[Michihiro Omigawa]]. Scores were 30–30, 30–30, 30–29 Sandro (i.e. majority draw) but the judges with draws selected Omigawa in a "must decide" decision, giving him the "must decide split decision" 2–1.{{fact|date=March 2025}}

His challenged Sengoku Featherweight Champion, [[Masanori Kanehara]] at World Victory Road Presents: Sengoku 13.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mmafighting.com/2010/03/07/hirota-vacates-sengoku-title-kanehara-to-defend-belt-at-sengoku/|title=Hirota Vacates Sengoku Title; Kanehara to Defend Belt at Sengoku 13|author=Ray Hui|date=7 March 2010|work=MMA Fighting}}</ref> Sandro won via [[KO]] 38 seconds into the first round. Kanehara was sent out of the ring in a stretcher. After the fight Sandro was ranked the No. 5 [[Featherweight (MMA)|Featherweight]] in the world by [[Sherdog]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sherdog.com/news/articles/7/Sherdog-Official-Mixed-Martial-Arts-Rankings-27767|title=Sherdog Official Mixed Martial Arts Rankings|work=Sherdog.com|date=27 October 2010}}</ref> On a side note, Marlon weighted 166 lbs one week before the fight.{{fact|date=March 2025}}

Sandro lost the Sengoku Featherweight Championship to [[Hatsu Hioki]] at World Victory Road Presents: Soul of Fight on 30 December 2010, by unanimous decision (49–47, 48–47, 48–47).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.angrymarks.com/index.php?ArticleID=12727|title=MMA: World Victory Road Presents Sengoku "The Soul of Fight" Recap|work=AngryMarks.com|date=14 January 2010}}</ref> Hioki dominated nearly every round of the fight, and Sandro was given a yellow card in the first round. Sandro was nearly submitted several times in the final round by a chicken wing [[armlock]], then by an [[armbar]].{{fact|date=March 2025}}

===Bellator Fighting Championships===
On 23 February, it was announced Sandro had signed a multi-fight deal with [[Bellator Fighting Championships]], and will be competing in their Season Four Tournament fights.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://mmajunkie.com/news/22576/bellator-inks-featherweight-notable-marlon-sandro-for-non-tourney-fights.mma |date=23 Feb 2011 |website=mmajunkie.com |title=Bellator inks featherweight notable Marlon Sandro for non-tourney fights |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110226193750/http://mmajunkie.com/news/22576/bellator-inks-featherweight-notable-marlon-sandro-for-non-tourney-fights.mma |archivedate=26 February 2011}}</ref> Sandro made his debut with the promotion at [[Bellator 46]] against [[Genair da Silva]] in his quarterfinal match of the [[Bellator Fighting Championships: 2011 Summer Series|Bellator Fighting Championships: 2011 Summer Series Featherweight Tournament]]. While a seemingly clear-cut decision win, Sandro won the fight on only two scorecards (via 30–27 and 29–28 scores). A third judge scored the bout 29–28 for da Silva, which resulted in a split decision victory for Sandro.

Sandro faced [[Nazareno Malegarie]] in the semifinals at [[Bellator 47]]. He dominated Malegarie, and won the fight via unanimous decision.

Sandro fought [[Pat Curran (fighter)|Pat Curran]] at [[Bellator 48]] in the finals of the tournament. After controlling the fight with his superior striking, Sandro lost via head kick [[KO]] late in the second round.

Sandro rebounded from the first KO loss of his career by submitting fellow Brazilian Rafael Dias in the first round at [[Bellator 58]].

In March 2012, Sandro entered the Bellator Season Six Featherweight Tournament, where he defeated Roberto Vargas by submission in the first round. In the semifinals at [[Bellator Fighting Championships: Season Six#Bellator LXIV|Bellator 64]], Sandro defeated [[Alexandre Bezerra]] via split decision. Sandro faced [[Daniel Mason-Straus]] in the tournament finals at [[Bellator Fighting Championships: Season Six#Bellator LXVIII|Bellator 68]]. He lost the fight via unanimous decision.

Sandro faced [[The Ultimate Fighter: Team Bisping vs. Team Miller|TUF 14]] contestant [[Dustin Neace]] on 16 November 2012, at [[Bellator 81]]. Sandro won the fight via technical submission due to a rear-naked choke in the first round.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://mmajunkie.com/2012/11/bellator-81-results|title=Bellator 81 results: Held taps Clementi, Jansen survives Tirloni to reach lightweight finals|publisher=MMAJunkie.com|date=17 November 2012}}</ref>

Sandro then participated in the [[Bellator MMA: Season Eight#Featherweight tournament bracket|Bellator Season Eight Featherweight Tournament]] at [[Bellator 88]] on 7 February 2013, he faced [[Akop Stepanyan]] in the quarterfinal round. Sandro won the fight via majority decision.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sherdog.com/news/news/Bellator-88-Results-Live-PlaybyPlay-Updates-49735#marlon-sandro-akop-stepanyan|title=Marlon Sandro vs. Akop Stepanyan|publisher=Sherdog.com|date=7 February 2013}}</ref> In the semifinal, Sandro faced [[Magomedrasul Khasbulaev]] at [[Bellator 92]] and lost via third-round TKO.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://mmajunkie.com/2013/03/bellator-92-live-results|title=Bellator 92 results: Khasbulaev vs. Richman, Marshall vs. Cooper set for finals|publisher=MMAJunkie.com|date=8 March 2013}}</ref>

===Return To Pancrase===
After a five-year absence, the former [[List of Pancrase champions#Featherweight Championship|King of Pancrase Featherweight Champion]] returns at [[List of Pancrase Events|Pancrase 252: 20th Anniversary]]. Sandro took on Yojiro Uchimura. The fight went to a draw.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sherdog.com/news/news/Ryo-Kawamura-Smashes-Kazuo-Takahashi-in-Pancrase-20th-Anniversary-Headliner-57061|title=Ryo Kawamura Smashes Kazuo Takahashi in Pancrase 20th Anniversary Headliner|work=Sherdog.com|date=29 September 2013}}</ref>

Next Sandro fought the current [[List of Pancrase champions#Lightweight Championship|King of Pancrase Lightweight Champion]] in a Featherweight bout in the main event of Pancrase 266, but came up short losing by split decision.

===Bellator return===
On 9 May 2014, over a year since his last fight in Bellator, Sandro faced [[Chris Horodecki]] at [[Bellator 119]] in Ontario, Canada.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://topmmanews.com/2014/04/14/bellator-119-full-card-finalized-at-casino-rama-on-friday-may-9th/|title=Bellator 119 Full Card Finalized At Casino Rama On Friday, May 9th|publisher=TopMMANews.com|accessdate=2014-04-14}}</ref> He won the fight via unanimous decision.

Following the victory in his Bellator return, he had a mix of wins, losses, and even a draw in the following years. In 2015, Sandro faced Isao Kobayashi in Pancrase 266, where he pulled off a victory in a split decision. Later in the year, he had a match with Soo Chul Kim in Road FC 025, which ended in a unanimous draw. Despite this setback, Sandro bounced back with a win against Wanderson Michel in November 2015 during Shooto Brasil 59: Bahia. The victory was marked by a submission due to Michel's shoulder injury.

In 2016, Sandro experienced a significant loss against Mu Gyeom Choi via unanimous decision at Road FC 029, a fight that was for the ROAD FC Featherweight Championship. Despite this loss, Sandro finished the year on a positive note, defeating [[Koyomi Matsushima]] by TKO in Pancrase 283.

Sandro's winning streak continued into 2017, where he beat Diego Arturo Huerto Jauregui with an arm-triangle choke submission in Shooto Brazil 74. After this fight, Sandro's career was put on hold due to legal troubles; he was imprisoned due to domestic violence charges against his then-fiance. This led to a lengthy hiatus from his MMA career.

After serving a six- layoff, Sandro made a remarkable comeback to the ring in April 2023. Despite being 46 years old, he faced Alexandre Castro in Shooto Brazil 117 and won the bout, knocking out Castro with a front kick in the first round. This victory marked a significant moment in Sandro's career, signaling his return to MMA after overcoming personal and legal challenges.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-05-04 |title=Marlon Sandro scores front kick KO in first fight after prison release {{!}} Brazil Beat |url=https://bloodyelbow.com/2023/05/04/brazil-beat-ufc-champ-front-kick-ko/ |access-date=2023-05-27 |website=Bloody Elbow |language=en}}</ref>
