Francimar Barroso (born 29 February 1980) is a Brazilian mixed martial artist currently competing in the Heavyweight division. A professional competitor since 2004, he has also competed for the UFC, Shooto, and Professional Fighters League.
Brazilian circuit
On 12 April 2013, he faced Brazilian prospect Simao Melo da Silva for the WOCS Light Heavyweight Championship. Barroso won the fight via rear-naked choke.[6] He vacated the title shortly after the fight, after getting called from the UFC to be a late-fight replacement.
Shooto Brazil
Towards the beginning of his career, Barroso competed at Shooto Brazil 11 on 28 March 2009, against Roque Oliver. He won by submission (rear-naked choke).[7] Shortly after the fight he was signed to a four-fight contract. He fought at the next event as well, fighting Levi da Costa on 30 May 2009. He won the fight by doctor stoppage.
After a long hiatus, Barroso returned on 10 March 2012, when he faced Falco Neto Lopes at Shooto Brazil 28. Barroso won via guillotine choke. On 23 November 2012, Barroso fought for the vacant Shooto Brazil Light Heavyweight championship, as he faced number one contender Cristiano Souza. Barroso won the fight by doctor stoppage to win the championship.[8] However he vacated the title, little over a year later to fight in the UFC.
Desert Force Championship
In November 2010, Barroso signed with upstart Jordan promotion Desert Force Championship (DFC). He made his DFC debut on 8 December 2010, against Abhijeet Petkar. Barroso won via head kick KO. Then on 19 May 2011, he faced Russian prospect Baga Agaev at DFC 2.[9] He lost the fight when Agaev landed a blistering punch that knocked Barroso down, and then landed multiple knees before the referee stepped in to stop the fight.[10]
Ultimate Fighting Championship
Barroso made his UFC debut on 3 August 2013, when he faced fellow Brazilian Ednaldo Oliveira, after Oliveira's original opponent Robert Drysdale was forced out of the bout due to injury.[11] Barroso won via unanimous decision.[12]
Barroso faced UFC newcomer Hans Stringer at UFC Fight Night 38 on 23 March 2014.[13] He lost the back-and-forth fight via split decision.[14]
Barroso was expected to face Patrick Cummins at UFC Fight Night: Henderson vs. Khabilov on 7 June 2014.[15] However, Barroso was forced to pull out of the bout due to injury.[16]
Barroso was expected to face Ovince St. Preux on 8 November 2014 at UFC Fight Night 56, replacing Rafael Cavalcante.[17] In turn, this fight was scrapped when St. Preux was tabbed as a replacement in the event headliner.[18]
Barroso faced Ryan Jimmo on 30 May 2015 at UFC Fight Night 67.[19] He won the fight by unanimous decision.[20]
Barroso was expected to face promotional newcomer Abdul-Kerim Edilov on 17 January 2016 at UFC Fight Night 81.[21] However, Edilov pulled out of the fight in the days leading up to the event citing a knee injury and was replaced by fellow newcomer Elvis Mutapčić.[22] Barroso won the fight via unanimous decision.[23]

Barroso faced promotional newcomer Darren Stewart on 19 November 2016 at UFC Fight Night 100.[27] He lost the bout via TKO in the first round, as he was dazed by an inadvertent headbutt which went unnoticed by the referee and preceded the TKO stoppage.[28] Eventually the result was overturned to "No Contest" by the Comissão Atlética Brasileira de MMA (CABMMA).[29]
