Fredson Paixão Melo (Script error: No such module "IPA".; born May 13, 1979) is a Brazilian mixed martial artist and Brazilian jiu-jitsu practitioner. He has competed as a featherweight the UFC, WEC, Deep, and Jungle Fight. He is also a world champion in Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

Background

Paixão earned his black belt from Osvaldo Alves in 1998.[1] He has won multiple World Championships as a black belt. He took first place at Mundials in 1998 (as a purple belt); and in 2001, 2002, and 2005 (as a black belt). In addition, he finished second (silver medal) in 2004.

In May 2010, Paixão defeated Caol Uno in a submission grappling bout at the UFC Fan Expo held in Las Vegas at UFC 114.[2]

Mixed martial arts career

Paixão made his WEC debut at WEC 40, where he lost a unanimous decision to Wagnney Fabiano.

In his next fight, Paixao fought Cole Province at WEC 42, where he originally suffered a split decision loss. The result was later changed to a no contest after Province tested positive for banned substances during a post-fight screening.[3]

Paixão was expected to face Bryan Caraway on March 6, 2010, at WEC 47,[4] but Caraway was forced off the card with an injury. Paixão instead faced Courtney Buck[5] and won via first round submission. Paixão eventually fought and defeated Caraway via split decision at WEC 50.[6]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

In October 2010, World Extreme Cagefighting merged with the Ultimate Fighting Championship. As part of the merger, all WEC fighters were transferred to the UFC.[7] Paixão has the distinction of being part of the very first featherweight fight in UFC history. His UFC debut was against Pablo Garza at The Ultimate Fighter: Team GSP vs. Team Koscheck Finale.[8] Paixão was knocked out in the first round by a flying knee from Garza and subsequently released from the promotion.

Personal life

Paixão has a daughter named Emma.[9] He appears in the video game UFC Undisputed 3.[10]
