Klidson Abreu (born 24 December 1992) is a Brazilian mixed martial artist competing in the Heavyweight division. He formerly competed in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and Professional Fighters League (PFL).
Early career
Abreu compiled a professional mixed martial arts record of 14-2 fighting within the Brazilian regional MMA circuit as well as in Paraguay, United Arab Emirates and Russia for over 7 years winning various regional MMA titles before signing for UFC in January 2019.[2][3][4][5][6][7]
Ultimate Fighting Championship
Abreu made his UFC debut at light heavyweight against Magomed Ankalaev on 23 February 2019 at UFC Fight Night: Błachowicz vs. Santos.[8] He lost the fight via unanimous decision.[9]
Abreu then faced Sam Alvey on 20 July 2019 at UFC on ESPN: dos Anjos vs. Edwards.[10] He won the fight via unanimous decision.[11]
Abreu next faced Shamil Gamzatov on 9 November 2019 at UFC Fight Night: Magomedsharipov vs. Kattar.[12] He lost the fight via split decision.[13]
Abreu was initially targeted to face Gadzhimurad Antigulov on 13 June 2020 at UFC Kazakhstan.[14] Subsequently, the Kazakhstan event was later cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[15] As a result, Abreu was rescheduled to face Jamahal Hill on 30 May 2020 at UFC on ESPN: Woodley vs. Burns.[16] He initially lost the fight via technical knockout in the first round, but the fight was later overturned on 3 September because Hill tested positive for marijuana.[17]
On 10 August 2020, it was announced that the UFC released him.[18]
Professional Fighters League
On 1 June 2021, it was announced that Abreu was signed by the PFL and he made his debut on 25 June 2021 at PFL 6 against Jamelle Jones.[19] He lost the bout after being knocked out in the first round.[20][21]
Klidson was scheduled to face Ali Isaev on April 28, 2022, at PFL 2.[22] However, Isaev pulled out of the bout and was replaced by Adam Keresh.[23] He won the bout via unanimous decision.[24]
Klidson faced Renan Ferreira on June 24, 2022, at PFL 5.[25] In an upset, Klidson won the bout via unanimous decision.[26] The Georgia Athletic and Entertainment Commission overturned the result of the bout to a no contest, after Abreu failed a drug test for unspecified substances. Klidson and his team contended that the positive was due to prescribed antibiotics for a leg laceration.[27]
