Fighter

Marlon Sandro made his professional mixed martial arts debut in 2004. Opening his career a perfect 14-0, Sandro turned himself into an international name with a vicious run in Japan that featured four first-round knockouts and saw him capture the Sengoku featherweight title. The Nova Uniao product made his Bellator debut in 2011 and made it to the Summer Series finals before losing to future world champion Pat Curran.

The jiu-jitsu black belt got back on track in November 2011, scoring a submission win over Rafael Dias and earning a spot in the next featherweight tournament. In the season six 145 pound tournament, Sandro once again made it to the finals after defeating Roberto Vargas and Alexandre Bezerra. He dropped a decision to powerhouse wrestler Daniel Straus in the tournament championship. The two-time tournament finalist holds a 5-2 Bellator record.
